Missed opportunity?

It was so beautiful out today. Hard to believe it's going to be cold again the first of the week. Yuk!

So many things are in bloom, so much color to enjoy. Cherry trees, Japanese Magnolias, hedges of yellow forsythia, and others I have no idea what they are but like to see them. A nice time ~ still cool enough for the pansies in the landscaping to show off but warm enough for other things to poke theirs heads up. The daffodils have been here a while but they've always thumbed their noses at the cold.

The only thing that spoiled my walk was seeing a mother walking her two children, ages somewhere between 6 and 8, from the bus stop, talking on her cell phone all the time. She ended one call and punched in another immediately. It was only a couple of blocks but apparently she couldn't unplug it from her ear for that short distance. The only time she spoke to them was to yell at the youngest one to hurry up. What a missed opportunity for a little quality time!
