Lilac crimes...

13 May 2022: Finally giving into an impulse I've had every spring, I finally snapped off some sprigs of lilac from a bush on my favorite spot on campus. I told myself that the blossoms only have a few days of peak left in them and there are so many that the bush wouldn't miss a few. Just a couple of sprigs made my whole office smell lovely. 

So...I did more crimes and brought some to Hannah for her office 

...and snapped off a few more to bring home. 

Whitman would approve.

The batch I later brought home, sitting in my office window.
