688 Saturday Apple Blossoms

Today was the Apple Blossom Festival in the village. They should call it the Lilac and Wild Onion Festival. The whole village smells of blooming lilacs, and since everyone mowed the lawns to look nice for a town full of visitors, there were undertones of wild onion/chive. Fresh-mown onion is one of those scents that says "Spring" to me.

I got quite a bit of walking in today, checking out all the booths and stores. I was a little disappointed that the library didn't have their usual used book sale, but it had rained in the morning and the afternoon sun wasn't trustworthy (although it is still beautiful out), so I understand why not. And being in "throwing out" mode, I really didn't need the temptation anyway.
