A Day in the Park

So as I had promised, I took Sissy to one of the biospheres. After picking her up from her house, we followed the map’s winding route through the maze of the city tunnels to one of the smaller biospheres near her home. When we finally got out of that dark tunnel and drove into to the sunlit garden, I saw her face break into that smile she is always wearing when we watch movies about the jungle in Biology class.

Anyway, we spent most of the day wandering around the biosphere as I showed her the many interesting plants that I had found, and the mini-fort/tree house that I had started building near the bench.

Later we ended up eating our lunch picnic style in the clearing between the bench and the fort. It was fun pretending we were picnickers from the year 2011, sitting in the middle of the long gone Piedmont park eating, chatting, and watching other people fish, play frisbee, and run.

After getting done with the make believe we ended up discussing politics the state of land management, and how we both felt our parents and the rest of society were constraining us in an unnatural mold. Jupe seems to really love this place, I am pretty sure I’ll be seeing her around here a lot more. I’m excited.
