For mother's day we went to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. It's been a tradition with us since I've been a mother. What a nicer way to celebrate than to stroll around on a gorgeous day and look at lilacs and other amazing flowers blooming? Well, sleeping late was pretty wonderful! Neil let me sleep late and then we had croissants (plain, chocolate and almond) from the super yummy french restaurant that makes all their own bread and pastries. The extra-special surprise was that my sister was in town from Oakland. We haven't seen each other in 2 1/2 years, so it was a real treat.
Neil brought Lindsay home for a nap and Lisa and I got to walk around the gardens at a nice, leisurely pace.
This plaque gives me an unreasonable amount of silly pleasure.
This gorgeous flower was in the tropical hot house. Aren't the colors lovely?
This plant gives a pretty good show of the fertility of spring!
I hope everyone had as lovely a day as we did. We even had a nice grown-up dinner afterwards in the neighborhood.
