Our local hospital is on a hill overlooking the Arboretum. After a routine appointment there today, I walked back home through the Arboretum, even though it was rainy and cool (again).
I was glad I walked instead of taking the bus. I had the place almost to myself; only Arboretum workers were about. Although most of the lilacs had gone by, there were some late pink ones in bloom. If this bench hadn't been wet, it would have been a lovely place to sit, enveloped by the fragrance.
There were many interesting plants in bloom as I walked through. I want to go back soon to the rhododendron path, where there are massive rhododendrons in all colors.
