I went out to look at and smell lilacs this afternoon, aiming for a block in Cambridge that has lot so good lilacs and is right next to a 71/73 bus stop.
I had a good time, but it was obvious that I'd have had a more intense lilac experience a few days earlier.
Inj retrospect, I should have gotten on the inbound bus at Brewer Street, not walked along Mt. Auburn Street in search of more lilacs. Doing that strained my legs a bit, and didn't get me more lilacs--the shrubs near the next bus stop outbound (Sparks Street) were basically done. Having walked that far, I took the bus back to Harvard Square, where I bought ice cream before taking the bus home.
