Last Saturday morning was beautifully sunny - chilly when we woke up but warm in the afternoon - and we couldn't resist the opportunity to check out what is currently blooming at Duke Gardens. Tulips, tulips, tulips! Absolutely beautiful! Fifty-five acres of trails, trees, gardens, ponds and grassy areas (and about 2 miles from our house). Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to photograph any flowers this time.
The Gardens were quite busy since it was also the Plant Sale day; plus, just as we were parking, Gemma looked out the window and said, "There's Asher and Adah Joy!" Sure enough, there were Rachel and the kids heading into the park in their double stroller, obviously thinking the same things as us that morning! (Craig has to work Saturdays.) I wish we could have lingered for longer, seeing the flowers and walking around on the paths. But...after a quick lunch picnic it was naptime (and meltdown time for Timo), so we will have to save that for our next visit.
