A walk in the garden

Michelle and I went walking at Matthei Botanical Gardens. The last time I was there was six years ago. It was the orientation for NELP, the New England Literature Program. I remember LK driving me. I was awfully nervous about meeting everyone and I didn't remember much of the gardens at all.

This time I did. Some of the small gardens reminded me of Italy. The Boboli Gardens, to be exact.

I liked the quiet on a Monday afternoon. Michelle and I stopped to look at insects, plants, rocks. The weather was perfect. Cool, sunny. I wish walking could always be so pleasant.

Pond skaters on the surface! And their shadows were very pretty.
