Saturday Sighting

Hello everyone!  I hope this post finds you well :)  I noticed this week that the lilac trees were blooming and smelling very good.  So this week's nugget from nature is the lilac!

Five fun facts about lilacs:

• Lilacs are a member of the olive family.
• Lilacs attract butterflies! 
• Lilacs are mentioned in a poem by Walt Whitman that he wrote when Abraham Lincoln died. 
• They symbolize the joy of youth supposedly.
• They are native to southern Europe. 

Stay safe and take care everyone!
