Spring Slowly Springing

Although it snowed here in Philly last Friday, small signs of spring are springing up in our neighborhood. Yesterday, we took a walk in Jenkins Arboretum, about a mile down the road from our condo complex.

 Jenkins Arboretum has lots adirondack chairs to sit down and enjoy the trees, walkways, pond, and sometime soon, the flowers.   

For the last several months, the arboretum has been hosting a temporary outdoor sculpture exhibition called "Wind through the Trees." All the sculptures are designed to move and spin in the wind. 

We found a tree in bloom!

 My personal favorite sculpture, which is suspended over the pond by strong wires.

 There was a lost dog named Lucky in the arboretum. We played with him until his owner arrived to take him home.

 Meredith and Kyle joined us later in the afternoon before heading back to our place for dinner.

 There are several of these large watering cans at the arboretum, each uniquely decorated. Meredith loves (and collects) elephants.

When we got back home, the deer who live in the field behind our parking lot were out and about.
