Lilacs in the Spring

Lovely lilac leaves taken early in the spring before it bloomed. This tree/schrub came to North America about 1750 from Europe and Asia.
Some famous lilac gardens are the Lemoine gardens at Nancy, France; the Arnold Arboretum at Jamaica Plains, Mass, the gardens in Highland Park, Rochester, N. Y.; and Lilacia Park in Lombard, Ill.

I found a great history story on Lemoine here:

Google and see what you come up with for interesting lilac reading!

Here are some "Quotes and Facts about STARFISH"
1) The starfish drift through the channel, with smiles on their starry faces as they head out to deep water, to the far and boundless sea. - Eleanor Lerman - ©2005 Sarabande Books
********************GO REXTON GO********************
2) Starfish may well be the most unusual well-known creature. They have no front or back: they can move in any direction without turning. Rather than using muscles to move their hundreds of tiny legs, starfish use a complex hydraulic system to move around or cling to rocks.
********************GO REXTON GO********************
3) “How stuff works” has everything you ever wanted to know about STARFISH!
********************GO REXTON GO********************
4) Next is from a clothing company and I like the way they present their “starfish” products... very eloquent and a “natural”, down to earth perspective that reminds me of Kent County ...
