Oh My!

The big beautiful Sierras.    Mike A. took this picture from his back  yard which extends acre upon acre in the valley.

He has a wonderful garden and works at improving it each year.  Even a butterfly can't resist flirting with his flowers.    That really is quite a shot.    A monarch I  believe.

well as the old song goes;  "baby, I'm telling YOU now." 

Now here is a clever new gimmick;  it is a gadget to put on your bicycle wheel so you can park it.  Pretty good idea . . .look ma, no wrack.

Friday has arrived and with it your weekend to celebrate Memorial Day.   The festivities are many so you should find a good spot to see the parade.   The Garden Club folks have been setting up for the plant sale and I have high hopes of finding a colorful plant or two.   Pat and I stopped at the library book sale yesterday and had a chance to walk across the street to visit the new annex.  It is much smaller than I thought  but well set up with some of the more recent books for sale.  I was introduced to a new author, Patrick Taylor and the first of a series, "Fingal O"Reilly, Irish Doctor" I am told summer reading at its best . 

I hope you are out and about celebrating and salute our flag as it goes by.   Go, have a fun day and remember to be good, be kind, be gentle and plant a big kiss on someone you love today.   Light a candle or two for those who have given their all and remember when you vote this year about the VA scandal and the men and women who died because they do not get the very best of treatment but put on a list and forgotten.   We all know there has always been problems with the VA hospitals and each could tell a tale.  Not one veteran should ever have to beg for treatment of any kind.  AND, they should get the very best of treatment . Ten years of war with hands tied; um. . . something is very wrong.

May is waning;   summer is coming up and be sure to put on sun screen and wear cover-ups so you don't start pre skin cancer spots.    Take good care of YOU.   Hugs to all.
