I spend every nice-weather moment I can at the botanical gardens. Walking around, reading, studying, anything just to be close to the lovely plants there. My workday was strange and a little off-putting, so as soon as I was finished for the week, I raced to the garden.
Strolling around yielded a lot of good springtime scents. Tulips, some lilacs, Sweet Breath of Spring. Many pleasant odors (except at the northernmost point-- that smelled like the church's dumpster lying just beyond the wall). A few lazy bees, a few lazy squirrels, some vocal yet lazy birds were all doing their things. It was a lazy day all around, so I decided to be lazy too. I parked myself on a wooden bench, shifted so I was lying on my side, and began to drift in and out of dreamland.
Eventually, I woke a little bit due to the shouts of some toddlers on the other side of the garden. They ran past me a couple of times, but the dream I had been having was good and kind of funny, so I kept my eyes shut a bit longer. And then I heard... rain? I wasn't wet though, so I opened my eyes.
Not rain, it was a man pushing a three-seater stroller with the toddlers in it. The stroller rolling across the gravel path sounded like rain. I sat up and smiled as all three toddlers waved at me, and I waved back. As the man continued pushing the stroller, the older girl of the group twisted to look back at me, and shouted, "Nice nap!"
"Yes!" I replied.
But really, it sounded like a compliment. I feel as though I should have answered, "Thank you."
If you haven't seen Alanis Morissette's version of "My Humps," here it is. I think it's pretty funny, even if I don't usually listen to Alanis or BEP
Gotta go.
