At Last

I got out of the house today! Took myself down to Krohn Conservatory to see the early Spring Show. It was wonderful and I have such a good time, all by myself - just me and my camera and the flowers. Then I stopped to pick up some salt that is kind to dog's feet at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Put my camera case in the trunk and just grabbed my wallet. Wrong. I go back to the car and it won't start. The key is too far away. So, I open the trunk release to get the camera case that has the keys in it. And, it won't open. I go into the store and ask to use the phone. I call Terminix because - another bad for me - I don't know Tom's cell number. I just push a button to call him. Well, I get a call center and they can't figure out that there really is a branch in Middletown, Ohio. So, I tell her he is the #1 tech in the US and you can't give me his cell number. Then I finally remember that I had just had to write it down at my doc's appt. I call them. She isn't supposed to give it out. She feel sorry for me and whispers the number. I call him and he is on his way. I go back out to the car and get in. Well, I notice this button on the floor. Well, that raises the trunk! So, I am really good at popping the hood and really lousy at opening the trunk! I am officially old.
Beautiful colour and focus.
