Adventures with Mom & Pop Part 1: The Brooklyn Botanical Garden
Hi folks!!
Mr. Mersy and Penny and I have just had a wonderful week visiting with with Mama & Papa Mersy! They flew out to visit us here in the Big Apple, and we spent the week having all the different New York experiences you can imagine! With Mama & Papa Mersy visiting, this crazy city felt like home! It just goes to show that people and family are the most important thing in life.
On Tuesday, we headed off on the subway to go explore the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Although the wind was damp and frigid, and the skies were overcast, the oasis of green among the high-rises and highways still showed some signs of spring. All of the trees were budding, including the magnolias and the witch hazel. And there were snow bells galore all throughout the lawns. We saw these little beauties in the Shakespeare garden.
Still, it was a chilly day to be out an about without a jacket!
We enjoyed the shelter of the green houses where the plants were riotously verdant. Personally, I am always amazed at the variety of colors, textures, and forms of plants. What infinite variety! What plucky vivaciousness! I've put together a little photo montage of the lovely plants we spent the afternoon with- would you like to come along for a little tour?
Spending time in these urban oases makes me very grateful to the city planners of the past two centuries who were aware that residents would some day need a refuge from the urban tangle around them. These sort of outings are so good for our souls- thank you for coming along Mom & Pop!
Love,
