Since the weather abruptly changed from chilly and rainy to hot, sunny, and humid, John and I took a walk in the cox Arboretum to see what we could see.

Cabbage Rose

This is one of my favorite shots of the day.  I think that it is some kind of cabbage rose, but I admit that I am not 100% sure.

After the arboretum, we had daiquiris and played backgammon on the deck.  It was that kind of a day.

Why do we have to go to work tomorrow?

There is a bush right next to the front door that is some kind of lilac.  It smells wonderful, but is only in bloom for about a week in early spring.  Right now is at the very end of its flowering cycle.  I wish that I could find a perfume that smelled like this bush.
