what a wonderful morning…

walked to the Park and met my buddy… we had a lovely wander through the English and Leo Mol Gardens…

I do like Bleeding Hearts but don’t seem able to grow them, no matter where I put them…

a peony starting to open… made me think of the peonies that we dug out of our front flower bed when we moved into the house… I dislike ants and therefore didn’t want the peony bushes which are usually covered in them… discovered later that they were prize winners, lol…

the benches are back, and they are new… we sat and visited for a while on mine – well the one that my beloved and I would always rest on when we walked through the Gardens…

every time I am in the Gardens there are new plantings and things to see… great to be making regular visits and seeing the constant changes…

a momma duck and her babies popped into the water as we were circling the Duck Pond… so cute…

took a number of pics of lilacs… actually  one of every four, lol… quite a few were in the Gardens, but also saw them on my way to and from the Park…

they smell delicious… and they’re purple…
