“April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.”
–T. S. Eliot, The Waste Land, 1922

Lilacs in a Window, Mary Cassatt 1880
A bi-coastal moment… The lilacs bloom this month in the mountains of San Diego County. Lilac Sunday at Arnold Arboretum in Boston is only a month away.
For San Diego readers: Wynola Farms Marketplace in Julian is now selling lilacs from their farm and other local growers. Call first–they’re expecting snow tonight and tomorrow or check the Julian webcam.
