A Spring Walk





We heard the weather report last night about more rain and snow moving in to KC tonight. But this morning's temperature was mild, though extremely windy. So we decided to do our Powell Gardens walkabout instead of the treadmill. After indulging our senses in their orchid display at the main building, we trekked on out and about the pathways, avoiding geese as they gabbled about and considered nesting spots throughout the garden. My daffodils are in full bloom at home, but nothing beats seeing a whole sweep of daffodils in a big garden!Here and there you could catch sight of anemones in the grass, star flowers (same as mine), orangey-red tulips, magnolias which had most of their blooms, despite the frost and snow last week, redbuds almost opening, and yards of daffodils in all different bloom shades. White with apricot, white with yellow egg yolk, bright yellow, yellow with orange, yellow with white, just total feasts for the eye and soul!
