I did a lot of walking today: with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude in the morning, and then by myself at lunchtime and in the afternoon. So, the bikeway from here to Arlington Center, and later from Alewife to here; on foot from the Harvard subway station to a little past Mount Auburn Hospital, via Lizzy's Ice Cream, Mount Auburn Street, and a little bit of Memorial Drive; and some of the area around Davis Square. My phone thinks I walked 4.9 miles, and over 10,000 steps; even if it's 4.9 kilometers, that's a lot.
It's starting to be lilac season, which I like a lot but means we'll have to close the bedroom window soon, becausecattitude is allergic; there are still lots of violets, and some daffodils and forsythia. The quince in the front yard has a lot of fine orange blossoms, and the maples are moving past flowering to leaving out, but the one visible from my bedroom window is a delightful mix of yellow-green flowers and slightly greener young leaves.
After some annoying misadventures, I have an appointment with an ophthalmologist, but it's not until July, so I may see if I can find someone who can see me sooner, since my last eye exam was in February 2016.

How many violets do you need for, say, a quart of ice cream?

I may yet order that violet syrup, then (though being so close to Tosci's and other good ice cream makers, I haven't taken the ice cream maker out since we lived here). I liked the two violet ice creams I've had—one from a gelato store in Madison, Wisc., and the other part of a homemade batch that
The weird thing was that I found that I liked the cheap violet candies that they sell on newsstands in Britain better than the fancy violet creams I got in an ice cream shop in Swansea once.
