Summer has started


Memorial Day always marks the start of summer in our house. The gang (B's brothers and sister and their families) come over for a cook out. This year we started a bit earlier as it is still cool in the evenings. We had a great time! A tree had fallen down the other day and one of B's brothers cut it up and we burned it... we generally wait to long to make the fire so we started early. However, it was warm outside and we didn't need it to keep warm. It did look nice. We just sat around, ate and talked. A very nice day!






With B's help, we moved the geranium planter up on the deck. After the little suckers ate the geraniums on the lower deck we were rather sure then would move on to the larger ones. So, we moved it.

It's a beautiful day out today but cool - temps were in the low 70's and it's windy. The sun is shining and yesterday's rain cleared the air. The pollen has been bad and we both are "suffering". However, it's not as bad as when we were in Jersey! The trees are shedding little seeds and I think that marks the end of the crud from the trees. Sure hope so as B has had to blow the driveway and decks every day.
