Botanical Garden
May. 25th, 2025 10:03 pmMy postponed Mother's Day today. I got up at 9:00, had breakfast. coffee, showered and dressed, Then I headed over to the Kid's place. Why she wanted me to come over there rather than pick me up here, I have no idea, but whatever.
So I got there at 12:00, and she and I and her boyfriend went to the Bronx Botanical Gardens for the Flowers of Van Gogh exhibit.
When we got there the parking lot was filled to capacity and we had to park in the additional parking at Fordham University, and it took ages to get in. But eventually we all were passed in though the gates and went to see exhibits.
We walked to the rose garden, going through the Thrane Forest. That was nice, and the roses were wonderful. By then we were feeling hungry so we made our way back to the grill and ate there. I had a tuna and cheddar melt, which was delicious, and a can(!) of wine.
Then we went trough the greenhouses where the actual Van Gogh flowers exhibit was. Very nice, and I loved the greenhouses.
Then we looked around some other exhibit gardens and the seasonal garden, and saw where they were getting ready to have a wedding after the gardens close.
Then we went to the gift shop, and the Kid bought me my Mother's Day gift, the poster from the exhibit which I am going to hang in my hall.
Then we made our way back to the car, and came home. They dropped me off and I was so stiff and achy from all the walking (over 12,000 steps, mpre than 5 miles) that I just lay down and recovered.
At 7:00 the FWIB called. Still no luck woth his computer, he's taking it to the Apple store tomorrow.
Then I called Middle Brother, who is fine and looking forward to Memorial Day.
