先週は仕事が目が回るほど忙しくって、気がついたらあちらこちらで芽吹いていた。これは見逃したらヤバいと、慌てて週末に写真を撮るためにお出かけ。ケンタッキーはなぜか、一番過ごしやすい春と秋が非常に短いんだよね。気がついたら暑くなっているのが常。
天気の良い日曜日に公園にお出かけ。樹木園だから花がいっぱい咲いているはず、との私の予想とは裏腹にほとんどの草木が枯れ果てているか、あるいはバッサリと冬の間に刈り込れすっごく殺風景でした。がっかり！お友達まで誘って行ったので罪悪感が・・・ (￣□￣|||) なんで〜？！春なのに？去年の夏来た時はいっぱい咲いてたのに・・・
仕方なく公園をぐるりと散歩。結構広いので良い運動になったんだけど、履き心地の良くない靴を履いていったドジ２組は水膨れを経験・・・
怪我中のお犬様コーディーはかわいそうな事にお留守番。窓を開けてたら外に行きたいのかひたすら窓の外をのぞいてはため息中です。

The last week was hellish--too busy!! So by the time Friday hit, I just had realized that flowers are blooming everywhere. It feels like that spring and fall, the best season to be outside, are too short in KY for some reason. Next time I realize it will too hot to be outside.
Since the weather is great on Sunday, I went to the Arboretum with Beejay and friends to take photos of flowers. Despite my expectation, there were no flowers blooming at the park! Almost everything was dried up or trimmed during winter...It was so odd! The last summer when we were there, there were tons of plans and it was pretty. Why there are no flowers to see? It's spring! ...I felt bad since I invited friends to come with us. :(
Well we ended up walking in the park and that was good exercise. But silly Beejay and I forgot to wear comfy shoes and ended up with blisters. ouch!
Cody the dog who is still recovering from pinched vertebrae couldn't got the park with us. And she's been looking outside with occasional sighs (I'm not joking!) through the windows. Hopefully she gets better and can go outside before Summer arrives...
