Springy and ding-y

Such a day, lilacs blooming and everything; we did a little tour around the nearby lake in the car after hairdo was accomplished, just to see what we could see. After dizziness in the salon, our nonegenarian perked up as she viewed the flowering trees around the edge of the park.
On an evening walk, I noticed that every restaurant with outdoor seating was spilling over, out their doors and onto the really not that wonderful options on the sidewalks, pretty much next to the streets. People must have been hungry for dining al fresco, weather be damned, as it was overcast and kind of chilly. Poor Seattleites, we're constantly deluding ourselves about the climate. If not, we migrate.
