Had a lovely chance to get away for a bit and enjoy the outdoors with friends at Longwood Gardens yesterday. It was a good day with flowing conversation punctuated with exclamations of delight at the wonderful works of nature and human in harmony

So take your cup and raise it high
Just as surely I'll do mine
And make a toast for family
And the tales of days gone by

For family not here, my dears
Havin' journeyed far and wide
For loyalty and kindness both
Take joy at days gone by

~ Days Gone By (Auld Lang Syne)
