Stop And Smell The Flowers

May 6th

Thanks to a tip by my co-worker Kate and an invitation from Chris, I spent a few hours in the Central Park Conservatory Garden after work.

Absolutely everything was in full perfect bloom.

We couldn't have asked for nicer weather.

The lilacs were smelling wonderful and it made me really miss my Gram Martin. She always used to cut me a big bunch for my bedroom from her bush off the back deck.

This terrible mangy nasty city raccoon was out raiding the garden garbage cans in broad daylight and THAT made me miss my Pop Martin and his stash of rocks for pelting other nasty garden critters!

"God Damn It."
