Elegant

I went to Wildwood Park today to see their Azaleas. They have always had such unusual colors and varieties. I was shocked to see that almost all of them were dead. I don’t know what happened. It was so sad. Some of the bushes were over 10 ft tall.

I checked the wildflower garden to see if anything was blooming yet. To my delight I found a patch of Columbine (Aquilegia.) I think they are such an elegant flower. I love their little bell shaped flowers. The Farmers Almanac says another common name for them is Granny’s Bonnet. That sounds a little too common for me. I would call them Queen’s Crown!

I did walk a couple of trails. One through beautiful dogwoods and another simply through the woods. It always makes me feel better walking through nature!
