My grandmother lives in Haven and my aunt and uncle are in Preston, near Pratt. Which is where Sarah was born!! Small world eh??<br />I am going to need much more time to look around your blog, you have so many wonderful photos and animals and your cottage is adorable!! I'm terribly jealous of the lilacs...ours are not blooming yet, the snow just melted so I imagine maybe in a few weeks they might start budding??? I hope!! <br />Right now we have 18, 13 year old boys here for a belated birthday party for my son..so I'll close now but I'll definitely be back!!!<br />Have a great weekend!! <br />Amy@ Eventyrhus in Norway :-)Skogkjerringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269245867852737707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-63572324514651857102011-04-15T12:30:29.183-05:002011-04-15T12:30:29.183-05:00Your lilacs are beautiful.
