Since my tax refund made it into my bank account, I decided to splurge a whole six bucks and go see Ironman 2 today. It was a fun movie; if you enjoyed the first one, you'll probably enjoy this one too. Robert Downey, Jr. was born to play Tony Stark.

The guy sitting behind me didn't find it so captivating, though; I heard snoring several times. Expensive nap, that. *g*

On the way home, I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to stop at Mittineague Park, the place I went with Flickr friend Rusty a while back. I took one of the trails, and it was very pleasant.

After an early supper, I walked down to the library to pick up a book I'd ordered, and was appalled to see this:



The reason this is appalling is because there should be trees between me and the church, but they've cut them down. All of them. Every single tree on the green. It was sickening.

I assume they cut them down because of the construction on that street, but I will be sad every time I pass by there now. :(

I went to a local park with Flickr friend Rusty today, where we found further evidence of spring on a nice walk in beautiful weather.

I was only able to upload a few pix, because iPhoto was overwhelmed by how many I had taken, so I'll do the rest tomorrow at work.

After a snack, I went down to Stanley Park and found some snowdrops in bloom, which I will also post tomorrow. I was a little alarmed that they had ripped out all the shrubbery around both the barn and the meetinghouse, but it did make the daffodils stand out more. There were buds on some of them; I think by the weekend or early next week, we'll have some daffodils in bloom as well.

What a perfect, springlike day! I'm so glad I got to enjoy it. :D
