CupKate on her way to pick up big brother from the bus stop. Just SO MUCH squeeeeeee.
Shifting from gushing aunt to Laurie, it's been wonderful to make a local friend. It sounds odd, but making friends as you age is hard. While I do enjoy my current work colleagues, there are days when you want friends that have nothing to do with work.
I've discovered a local botanical garden and my annual pass comes with a guest pass, so we met up after work for a walk. A much better way to transition into the evening than traffic.
The grounds look completely different from my visit just three weeks ago~we've shifted from cherry blossoms and daffodils to tulips and azaleas and dogwoods. The peonies ought to be in bloom by my next visit.

Spring is radiant still. Blooms,
bees, & beauty stun.
Wow, I am a real sucker for dogwoods (now that I know what they are). SO much beautiful! I'm glad you guys had a good time.
ReplyDeleteThere were a lot in the Napa Valley. I think they are just the most gorgeous of trees...right after vine maples in the autumn, natch.
ReplyDeleteYeah for "aunt" and "friend"! Great combination - and work also. Today's Soli's 11th b/d, and Grandpa and Grandma are great titles - still, I value a friend living nearby.
ReplyDeleteHow can she be 11 already!!??! It's a joy to be involved with Littles whatever our title!
DeleteIsn't it a a wonder? How fast the time goes by! Luke will be eleven Jan. 2nd. Soli has just remained sweet and gotten even sweeter (not something one takes for granted)!
