Adrian and I went to the Arnold Arboretum today with her friend Ruth, to look at lilacs and other flowers. Our timing on the lilacs was close to perfect: lots fully in bloom, with a few bushes that had finished flowering, and several that were still in bud.
It's also lily of the valley season, and we sat and talked for a while just downwind of a large and fragrant patch of lily of the valley.
The rose garden is near the Arborway gate, and the rugosa roses were in bloom, which was a fine surprise.
I spent a few minutes listening to and looking for an oriole, after hearing someone on the other side of a path say "oriole." Also a treat, though I would have liked to see that flash of orange.
