We went to see what was left of the cherry blossoms yesterday. Like Ina said the other day, the cherry trees in Branch Brook Park were in full bloom two weeks early. Last week, to be precise.

Which meant there weren’t many blossoms left for us to see on Saturday, but who cares? We had a great day, anyway.

We made an interesteing group, though. Mom in her winter coat, Dad in his spring coat, me in just the hoodie I was wearing around the house, and Chappy, of course, in nothing but his fluffy coat (and his harness, of course).

We saw some shiny, happy ducks enjoying the day, too.

Of course, Chappy’s still trying to figure out why I tried perching him in a tree.

I told him it was so he could get a better look at the pretty flowers.

Oh, and afterward?

So, so tired … all of us!

Today? I baked a banana cake with lemon-cream cheese frosting, and made a fresh batch of granola. And pot roast. Not to mention doing a load of laundry and working on.

Also, believe it or not–NINE book reviews for Knitting Scholar. Did you see? I’ve got my first yarn review up … suddenly, Knitting Scholar is NOT just about books!
