Monday we went to the Denver Botanic Gardens. The visit would have been more enjoyable if there hadn’t been grade-schoolers running and screaming and generally being out-of-control maniacs on the paths.
But aside from that, it was a beautiful day, and there were lots of spring flowers.
Friday was an absolutely beautiful day, but I had to restrain myself and not walk all over creation, as I am supposed to be resting my ankle.
I seem to have done something not good to my ankle, so we walked slowly around campus today, because the weather was too beautiful to stay inside.
This may have been a mistake, but at least I enjoyed the walk.
I managed to get off a couple non-Jules pictures on Saturday. But I have to admit it was difficult.
March 22 was when daffodils first appeared last year, looks like the very end of March in 2009 (I don’t seem to have gotten the first daffodils every year in the past.)
I’d feel bad about never having been to the WV Botanic Garden before, except it’s relatively new.
Yesterday, we had a high of 58F. Today, we’re calling for snow. Not really snow of course, just flurries.
But on a more serious note, my first daffodil pictures last year were March 22. Everything is blooming crazy early this year.
As if I needed further proof this was an incredibly mild winter…
Last year’s crocus post was March 13th. And I discovered that not only did the rosemary survive the winter–so did the parsley.
The cruise ended in Vancouver, British Columbia, so we spent some time wandering around the city. One thing that I particularly loved was the rose garden in Stanley Park. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time there, both taking pictures AND smelling the flowers.
