In bloom

Emily and I went to the Nichols Arboretum today to see the lilacs in bloom. The Arb has a historically-based shrub collection that dates back to the original 1907 landscape. The blooms were beautiful and so fragrant.

I took Emily in our cruising stroller because I wanted her to be able to see everything. I was a little concerned about it being too bumpy, but she had her hands up and was kicking her legs, as if this was her own personal rollercoaster ride. The lilacs are located in a fairly hilly section so my
muscles got quite a workout!

The apple blossoms are also blooming right now. Emily wanted to see if the blooms taste as good as the fruit.

We are looking forward to visiting the peony garden next month!
