Walking with Monkey in Spring

A fine spring is good for everybody. ~Russian proverb

I Monkey here.

Back-to-back posts from me within a week’s time? Yes, indeed. Count yourselves lucky, people, that Mama is busy with stuff and lets me use her computer!

Saturday dawned sunny and mild, so I Monkey badgered Mama until she agreed to take me for a nice stroll. Join us as we look at some of the Spring-stuff.

Here’s a patch of flowers. I guess the blooms are already gone, but trust me, there was an interesting smell about them:

Mama likes pink trees. How about you?

And this dogwood (I love that name!) was all white:

Oh, look — tulips! I Monkey wanted to “water” them, but Mama said No. She can be a real Debbie Downer, heh heh:

Have you ever seen a purple bush? (Now you have!):

I Monkey wonder what these pretty blue things are (Mama didn’t know either):

And these little yellow stars are kind of interesting:

Here’s another pink tree:

Mama kind of liked these tulips beside a lamppost, though I Monkey think they look pretty scraggly:

Here’s another purple bush. This one’s color is a deep purple:

These are nice. Mama calls them phlox, but who knows if she’s right:

I Monkey really like these lilac bushes. Mama had to get up real close so she could inhale the scent (I Monkey was more interested in the ground beneath them). Anybody know why they’re called “lilac” when they’re clearly white in color?

Okay, people, our walk is done, and I Monkey am going to SnoozleLand. Hope you enjoyed the scenery!
