Here's what I learned about Father's Day.   It is interesting.

HAPPY FLAG DAY!!!

 

We hated to take down the flag and soldiers, but it's a new month. And it's almost summer.  Time for something festive.

 

I hope it makes you smile.

 

HAPPY SUMMER!!!

It's almost Memorial Day, the unofficial beginning of summer.  Time for a picnic with our neighbors.

 

I hope you are planning to come to the pavilion this afternoon at 4 o'clock.  We will be set up and ready for a summer picnic.  

 

The grill will be ready;  just bring whatever you want to cook and a dish to share.  

 

Let's all pray for nice weather.  See you soon.

 

HAPPY MAY!!!

 

I have probably shown you this before, but it is a favorite image, so I thought you might like to see it again.

Even though we don't mail cards to our Moms anymore, we will still be celebrating Mother's Day.  And remembering how fortunate we are.

 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

April showers brought May flowers.  Same flowers, but new haybale.  

 

As soon as we finished April's display, we started thinking about what to do next.  Jon suggested a sun with rays.  So we got busy cutting and painting the rays.  It seemed like a good idea at the time, but yesterday when we went down to install them, we couldn't cut holes into the haybale.  The hay is so tightly packed, we just couldn't cut deeply enough.  (Hahaha, I say "WE".)  We ALL know what that means:  Jon, cause he does all the hard work.  I just paint.  

 

So we came back home and collected more tools:  a big knife, a pruning saw, a machete.  He utilized all of them to install these 9 rays.  It took about 45 minutes!!!  

 

We learned not to try to do THAT again.  Stick to paint and cute cutouts that can be screwed into the hay.

 

We hope you like seeing our work.  We love doing it!!!

 

HAPPY SPRING!!!

 

Isn't this the cutest kid ever?  Hahaha!!  It's me!!!  Easter, 1960.  Siri just told me that Easter, 1960 was on April 17th;  the same as this year!!!  I was almost 5 years old.  Quick, do the math!!!

 

Today is my birthday, so if you see me on a walk, be nice.  That's all I ever want for my birthday:  for people to be nice.  

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

 

 

 

Woohoo!!  We noticed that the pine trees are in pollen stage right now.  

 

I'm not sure if this kind of pollen causes allergic reactions, but it sure covers our cars and coats the furniture in our house.

 

Time to get busy dusting...every day.  Should end by June.

 

HAPPY SPRING!!!
