Just an ordinary day. A trip to the doctor with my Grandmother-in Love. Procedure postponed, new procedures, different ones, scheduled. Waiting, waiting.
Then, too early for lunch, an extraordinary visit to First Presbyterian's Memorial Gardens in Concord. to sneak a peak at the promise of Spring.
Hyacinths, Daffodils, Pansies, Johnny Jump-Ups, Grape Hyacinth sprouts, Star Magnolias, huge Pink Perfections, many buds waiting to burst at just the right moment!! Tulips nor Azaeleas not blooming, but sprouts and buds EVERYWHERE!
"Just wait a little longer," they speak. This demands another visit.
All hearlding the end of a long, cold, wet winter and the coming of new life, new hopes, new plans....everything new!
Everything has a name; but I have much to learn. So many I don't know. Just like meeting new friends, remembering their names is a sign of respect. I will research! Lots of new friends to meet!
Against the gray backdrop of the day, the colors were stunning: Pinks, Yellows, Purples, Oranges: Candy for the eyes, perfume for the nose!! Refreshement for the spirit.
Ambling along the historic streets, we wandered into a coffee shop that boasts the self-proclaimed "Best Coffee in Town." I won't disagree. And great paninni's too!!
An ordinary day, became extraordinary. Precious TIME spent with a great story-teller/conversationalist, enjoying each others company and God's beautiful creation!
Sounds like a wonderful day! Can't wait to take our trip up there soon for Easter pictures!
