I took this photo yesterday as I was "practicing " for summer vacation! School is out on Friday, but I had a half day because of a school event that I was NOT required to attend. I came home at noon and worked in the garden and went for a long walk in the sunshine. It was great...can't wait for school to be over and start enjoying the lazy days of summer. the weather is fantastic with clear, cool nights and warm, sunny days.

Blossoms and a Beautiful Daughter

The predicted high is 70 here today. It will be the warmest day since early last fall. I'm excited to run my new lawn mower I purchased a few weeks ago.

Happy New Year 2013

Seems like it is about time to start a new blog since it is a new year. I was looking at my New Years Eve picture from last year and was surprised to see less snow than we have now. After all, it IS Michigan and we are suppose to have snow. The ground has just little patches of the white stuff here and there...last January we had none on this day.
