Tentative plan for Sunday June 2- we’re heading back to Brookside Gardens – unless we come up with a better location before then. But in the meantime – getting the meetup on the calendar
No clue what will be in bloom – but I’m sure it will be wonderful.
We’ll meet at 7 AM in the parking lot by the Conservatory – photograph until 9:00 – and head to Panera on Connecticut Ave.
