After a little yard work, we drove to Madison for popcorn and sunshine. Our plans to hike the ICT put on hold while my lungs continue to clear up. Strolling through the zoo was all I could manage without wheezing. Madison was crowded. Graduation weekend, students moving out, plus the weather was perfect so everyone crawled out from under their rocks despite Swine Flu fears.
I'm actually stunned that our state has the second highest count of Swine Flu cases. I would have put my money on Texas,California and New York beating us, but only Illinois has. I'm not worried we'll get it though, even after sharing all that air space with a zillion zoo families.
The prairie dogs saved the zoo experience for me with two babies coming out of their hole to test the sun's rays. They were too cute. I was sorry I didn't bring my camera. When mom discovered there were out, she stopped eating and ran over to them.
The rest of the zoo was a disappointment. The lion family was off display as was the polar bear. Two of our three giraffes have left to spend the summer in Minnesota and the rhinos only let us stare at their backsides.
It was still a beautiful day to be outside, and my family did buy me a flat of petunias to plant today. I may try to carve out a little me time too, breathing deep to clear up the rest of my lungs. My asthma is easy to control as long as I stay clear of pollutants.
Have a great day!

The zoo sounds like a fun day even if the animals didn't cooperate. Have fun with your gardening.
The zoo sounds like fun and Happy Gardening today.
Now, that sounds just wonderful and relaxing! I usually am not online over the weekends because there's so much to do and I like doing other things but computer all the time. Especially now when the Sun is shining most of the time and summer's coming I want to enjoy outdoors more. It sounds like you've had some good time for sure. I hope the week keeps going well over there.
I hope you're feeling better today!
Hope that you are doing better today. The zoo here in lansing isn't much to look at anymore. Well maybe it was never much to look at! LOL I hope you'll have fun with the gardening!! Enjoy your Tuesay! Hugs
