This afternoon we made a trip over to Gibbs Gardens, as Mom had purchased us a season pass to the place. The weather was pleasant and Mom was feeling much better today. We may have missed out on the peak weekend for the flowers, but there were still a good bit of daffodils there, as you can see above. This location is only about 40 minutes away, so it's not too bad, and the weather was really nice today for a peaceful stroll through the gardens. We didn't go that far really - just through the daffodil fields and then over to another area where we sat for a spell, just relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere there. And yeah, I brought the camera along - here's the pictures:
On the way home I made a slight very small detour to a location that I just discovered on the map recently. All this time, I had no idea there was a covered bridge over there in the area. That said, we dropped by to see it!
It was actually somewhat of a sad story associated with this, all having to do with the Trail of Tears and a lot of greed and abuse. The bridge itself was built many years after the events of a mill located here, so it isn't necessarily a symbol of anything. But reading some of the signs here reminds you of the tragedies of the past here in this area.
Tonight we continued our Spider-thon with a viewing of "The Amazing Spider-man," which we first saw a long time ago, but more recently for a Spider-thon viewing at New Year's Eve. We've still got at least four Spider-man movies to go, and that doesn't include "Civil War" or the Avengers movies. Spider-man is everywhere, including a new movie of course, one we'll go see this summer.
After the movie it was time for some sleep. We went upstairs, read for a bit, said our prayers, and got some sleep after that. Busy day today!
