They are Japanese tree lilacs. Apparently they do not bloom in profusion every year which may be why I never noticed them before. This year seems to be an on cycle year. As I noted previously a couple of my neighbors have them. So today as I finished up my ride I pulled into John and Betsy's driveway and eventually got this nice shot of the one next to their house.
They are very, very fragrant, extremely pleasing.While I was framing up the photo another of my neighbors took an interest and pointed out to me the rose bush blooming next to HIS house. The bush is just a tiny bit past peak but these are spectacularly nice Roseville Roses.
The month ends. I have no milestones to report this month but it was a good month, I rode lots of miles. I feel strong and today when I rode I even felt a little bit fast.

That's a very fragrant entry.
The tree lilacs seem to be a lot of places near here, too, now that you've brought them to my attention. The city planted them on the boulevard on St Clair from Victoria to the 35E ramp. They do smell pretty good. TT
