AT THE FRELINGHUYSEN ARBORETUM

A beautiful early spring day in the mid-70s. Many visitors were out enjoying the Arboretum's grounds today, from painters to photographers to families enjoying the great lawn. Large sweeps of daffodils are spreading their cheery blossoms for all to enjoy, the cherry trees are beginning to bloom and all manner of buds are breaking their long winter rest.

Happy Passover and Happy Easter to all!
