In the mid-40's today -- dropping from 80 degrees yesterday! The quiet calm of the cool weather made it a great day to get reacquinted with with the garden wildlife - ducks and turtles were out and about!
Camelia trees in bloom, and more blossoms at the stone lantern.
A pair of ducks looking for food under the cherry trees...
and diving for food in the water....The cherry trees are beginning to blossom.
Turtles lined up on a rock together. Magnolias were blooming after yesterday's warmth.
John is still playing with gloves and a wool coat. After yesterday's warmth, we weren't expecting this! Mother nature really never runs out of surprises.
Our friend Bruce, a regular at the garden who always sits and listens, even if it is sprinkling with rain.
Yesterday it was 80...and today it was in the mid-40's! We couldn't believe how cool it had gotten in 24 hours. It was a fairly quiet garden day (yesterday it was packed, we heard) and we played to the cherry trees, wandering ducks and turtles. One passerby noted that the birds and fish seemed to like the music; we met a mother and daughter from Bellevue and played "Sakura" for a woman whose granddaughter is named Sakura. We also talked with Bruce for the first time this season - a regular to the garden. We thought he must live nearby because we see him there so often, but we found out he actually walks on weekends, and it takes about an hour and a half from his home up north! What an inspiration.
