Summery spring
Saturday, 1 April 2006
Today, we enjoyed a gorgeous spring day, with temps tipping toward summer, but vegetation solidly in spring. We had the additional fortune of spending much of the day with our friends Kay and Dean wandering around Callaway Gardens. While we certainly reveled in the blooms—especially the banks of azaleas and dogwoods scattered below the pines—we also spent considerable time watching languid koi, bream (HUGE “brim”!), and sunning turtles.
John, perhaps a bit gleefully and perhaps a bit disgustedly, pointed out several egregious misspellings in Callaway’s carefully made signs, e.g., restauraunt, bicyles (we speculated that the pronunciation was “bickles”), and their inconsistent use of typefaces.
