Another beautiful day that was perfect for walking and 18 people agreed. We did our usual tour down to the riverside. It's always such a nice view and we spent some time enjoying it and relaxing with the group. Then we headed back uphill some dispersing into the gardens where we encountered fellow member, Katy, who volunteers there. Others headed in various directions.
Spring planting has begun and some of the rose bushes already have leaves. Others have just recently been planted. While the official garden didn't have that many flowers blooming at present, there were quite a few "wildflowers" around and, of course, I took pictures of many of them.
Five of us had an excellent brunch, as usual, at the Eveready Diner...one of our favorite places for after-walk brunches.
After brunch CJ and I visited fellow member, Eileen, who is recuperating from hip replacement surgery. We were happy that she seems to be progressing.
