or The Next in the Series of
Let's get out of the house.
Last weekend, the rain stayed to the south, and the frost stayed to the north, so we had great weather. We spent Saturday doing outdoor spring chores, so we relaxed on Sunday and went out for our annual (or every five years or so) visit to the Brighton Dam Azalea Gardens. The five acres of gardens feature more than 22,000 azaleas planted in a hardwood forest. Overall, the garden was past its blooming peak, but we still saw many flowers. Once again we didn't have to worry too much about avoiding other people. We only saw four other people on the trails and it was easy to avoid them during our amble through the gardens. Here are a few photos from our outing.

| If you ventured from the paths, there was poison ivy waiting for you. |

| Where there's water, there are usually some geese nearby. |

| And no visit to a dam is complete without studying its construction. At least with Ward, anyway. |
Until next time...
