The group came out to the rocks to greet us.  Nikki, Vickie, Tina, Ross, and Tiffany.

Weekend Activities

Terry and Hal returned from fishing, caught 3 large Walleye.

Hal finished another puzzle, 1000 pieces.

Baby Eastern Phoebe(we think) is out of the nest and practicing flying, 1 more still in nest.

Liberty Puzzle

 Hal finished the Statute of Liberty puzzle in 3 days.  Too hot in the afternoons to be out, so indoor time is good.

Cleaning and Planting

 Went to all the cemeteries yesterday to clean around them and plants flowers.  Hal's  parents are buried in New Haven.









His grandparents are buried in Willard area,

 The bloom is from a tulip tree in the Willard area cemetery.

His other grandparents are buried near Attica.

My parents were cremated and we have a memorial at my brother's home.

Artichokes in Bloom

 This is what happens when you let artichokes go to seed.  Aren't they beautiful!  A friend sent these pics to me from Yuma, these are from the field we kept watching but they did not bloom before we left.

Mother's Day Hike

 We went for a hike at Pine Hill Farm today then over to Crall Woods for a wildflower walk, altogether about 3 hours.  Some wildflowers were gone, but we still saw a few.
Also saw some Iridescent Buntings nesting in bluebird houses.
