Summertime

The official start to summer! Memorial Day. It is coming this weekend and we are ready. Spring seems to have missed Ohio this year as the winter quickly turned into summerlike temperatures. The golf course looks great. The pool is opening and the grill is ready to go. Let the fun begin.

Our travel schedule has finally ended after spending this past week in Boston and New York. We had a great visit with Jessica and walked and cached through Boston. Then on to Long Island for Steve's cousin Maureen's, daughters wedding. And what a New York wedding it was. Food, music, flowers, and of course time with relatives we rarely get to see anymore. Much like close friends it is fun to see how quickly conversations with favorite relatives pick up seemingly right where they left off even over many, many years. It is only the young people that change. Little toddlers become teens and teens become adults. Hmmm....I guess we become the elders, although some of the elders from long ago still are looking great.

But to me and Dorothy (from the wizard of Oz) there is no place like home. Yesterday was spent catching up with the mundane such as laundry, mail and groceries. And watering all of my new plants. One would not think that a 6 day trip in May would be a problem for new plants but it seems not a drop of rain fell last week and with temperatures in the high 80's things really dried up. But this morning all is well and rain is on the way.

Today's Quote:

"A weed is a plant the has mastered every survival skill except learning to grow in rows."

Hey, sounds like lots of fun! As someone who has thoroughly walked Boston, I am a little green with envy!
I loved your quote about the weeds as they are the most hardy green in my yard!!!! Wishing you a great golf weekend!!!
