Know Bruce e-mailed this to some but just had to include this little guy in his 4th of July gear. This was done at the boarding doggie day care center. (

The flower of the day is the Zinnia. The Zinnias are at their best this year--nice blooms, no rust on the foilage, and still putting out lots of buds. Looked through my file of Kodak pictures and noted I am close to 1000 pics (mostly flowers and flower garden). Not trying to scare anyone just sit back, buckle up for the pictures to continue to be posted throughout the fall and winter months.
Mount Carmel is having its 50th year reunion in September. I received a handwritten invitation--noting that they were aware I had only attended one year, the person remembered me and encouraged me to go. I have until mid August to send my money. I am just a tad weary of the search for one year attendees---
reminds me of Kurt's late night appeal (met me at the door at midnight, after I had worked a 2nd shift) to sign a permission slip so his name could be put in the drawing for having the (either 3rd or 4th grade) class Iguana spend the summer at our house. With 26 kids in the class what would be the likelyhood his name would be drawn? Returned home the next night, again met Kurt at the door with a big grin on his face proclaiming his luck----seems he was the only kid in the class who returned his permission slip and we were the caretakers of this big lizard. My point in all of this is---what if I am the only attendee? (LOL). May consider it. Have been in touch (throughout the years) with my freshman prefect (homeroom) teacher from Mt. Carmel. Just spoke with her last month. She is 81 years old, really sharp, delightful to visit with, and she was excited she is now on line and we can e-mail each other. Also received a Mass card from her indicating Pop and Kelli are being remembered in the convent prayers and Masses--nice.
Imagine the ones of you who read this are glad you are not up this early or thankful you have jobs to go to so you do not have an earful to start your day. So I must repeat with ---stay healthy, be safe, and keep in touch.
Love,
Mom
Already been to lumber yard, called my nursery guru and plan to weed and clean out some flower beds. Going to Easter Vigil Mass this evening and then help the sacristan following Mass.
Planning a fun day playing cards. Went to Mass last night. Temperature is 26 degrees, no wind/breeze and foggy---nice day to stay inside by the fireplace playing cards with great people.
Cannot believe the radiance of the Morning Glories. This pic was taken yesterday in the early morning. Worked in the yard most of yesterday in between resting/cooling off inside/blogging---Got everything done on last weeks list and starting a new list.
Took lots of pictures yesterday. Had an ambling sort of day and seems the only thing I could focus was the camera. Went to Mass in AM, worked in the rectory for about an hour, took pics, napped and ambled. 
The Crepe Myrtle is exploding with blossoms. The limbs are straining to hold all of them. Took several views and will send more later. (Double click for details of the petals)
