Summer is officially here!

 The longest day of the year. I love it and hate that is starts to turn around soon. 

Since my last posting, I have been back to Rock River Christian Camp and helped in any way I could. We have been to our grandson's 4-K graduation, and continue to be busy with the lawn and flower beds. We just had a hot humid weekend but today the skies are blue without the humidity and temps are just perfect. We did get rain overnight with wind. The rain is good after a few hot days with a strong breeze. 

Here are some of the latest bloomers. The Asian Lillies are always so gorgeous and last so long. The daisy type flowers also bloom along time. My Clematis are looking so nice this year. 

The hanging basket I got from our daughter Katie is still doing so well. I just love it!!!

As we finished May and start June!!

Our busy spring continues. I spent 3 days in Chicago watching over 3 grandkids and running them to school, meals etc. It was good to be with the boys. From there I traveled to the western side of the state and spent Memorial Weekend with our daughter Leslie and family as Family Camp began. I mostly ran errands for her. Lynn did carpentry work for friends so we were gone a full week. I had left our lawn completely mowed and trimmed when we left and when we returned, it was like a hay field. I spent all of Memorial Day mowing and trimming it all. Today I am doing some house cleaning to get things caught up. 

On Sunday after our return, we placed flowers on the graves of our parents. It was a rare time home to do this job together. A flag is placed at my dad's military marker each year.
