Hudson Gardens (Part 1: Roses)
Having been stuck in the house for about two and a half weeks (quarantined for Covid, and having the flu before that), we *really* wanted to go out and do something outside today.
Of course, our weather forecast pretty much consisted of "Please do not try to Do Something Outside today. It's almost 100° and there's a bunch of smoke. Don't do it."
We did anyway. (Definitely overdid it a bit with the still-present fatigue. Had to stop and sit several times, and got dizzy toward the end of the trip.) But I remembered sunscreen this time!
We went back to Hudson Gardens. We were there about a month ago, but hit too early for most of the flowers. We wanted to go back when the roses were blooming, because we missed those last year.
So... roses!
I do like the "candy land" roses. Stripey!
I like this one a lot, too.
Non-rose pictures in another post!
(Also, three separate people on my flist here posted about buying strawberries yesterday, which made me crave them, haha. So today we did buy some, and then we made a strawberry peach cobbler with the strawberries and the kind of so-so peaches that were up for grabs in the lobby last week. It was very good! If we make it again, we'll probably cut the sugar, as it was a bit too sweet, but still very good!)
