And for this #earthday I bring you lilacs. We don’t have many in the neighborhood, and many, like ours, are bushes and have not yet bloomed. Sorry you can’t smell them, they are wonderful. But if you want to experience the best lilac arbor in town, head to the National Arboretum for a walk. Wish that I had time today. I’ll just have to enjoy this stand of trees at the end of Garfield Park for now.

Oh, and the title comes from a poem written NOT by me:

“And stay, my dear
stay…
forever, as my quiet song,
in my lilac dawn.”
― Sanober Khan, A Thousand Flamingos
