Seasons - Recent Happenings

 Welcome! - It's been crazy busy here the last couple of weeks.  Summer has arrived!

We've had record heat this past week with temps in the 100's already.  Thankfully it is supposed to cool down later this week.


So for today I'm joining, Jesh (St. Germains) for SEASONS

My dad would have been 96 on May 27th and is our tradition we always take flowers out to his grave on his birthday anniversary and then refresh the bouquet again for Memorial Day.  This is the birthday bouquet we took.  Flowers from my mom's & my gardens.

 We took a trip up on Saturday the 28th to my brother's cabin for a family gathering and BBQ.

 This is the view they have from their cabin. - Isn't it gorgeous.

Two of my brothers, Richard (L) and Russell (R) - Getting ready to grill the hamburgers.

Coleen entered her school's talent show and sang, Hurricane.   She did a really nice job with the song.  I'm so proud of her.  I would have been scared to death at that age to stand up and sing in front of other people.

 This week has been filled with lots of activities related to her end of Elementary school days.  One more to go with tomorrows Recognition Ceremony for the 5th graders moving on to middle school in the fall.

 On other news I got a new camera!!! - A Canon 70D - I've been spending time trying to learn how to use it.  The above shot was taken the first day I got the camera.  There's a lot of different things to learn as the buttons are all different from my old one but I'm having fun with it.  Cats here are Harley and Callie-Jo.

I've been busy watering and weeding and taking care of flower beds.  I shot this pretty photo of the Hibiscus plant that Greta gave me for May Day.  It's really been blooming up a storm.

With summer comes an abundance of fresh fruit and produce in our area.  Here are the summer's first Bing Cherries that we've been enjoying.

Hope you've enjoyed a little glimpse into the Seasons around here.

I couldn't let this day pass without posting these two photos.

 The flowers my mom and I took out to the Cemetery this morning for my dad's birthday.  We grew all these flowers in our own gardens.  He loved seeing our flowers when he was alive.

Nothing more needs to be said.
