The catalpa is blooming and we ate lunch at Maria’s picnic table. Ahhh, what a lovely day. Love, Grandma
We were not at the lake this weekend, had a fun graduation party yesterday. So we did a lot of work around home. The flower beds and foundation plantings were cleaned up and refreshed. The grill continues to go away. James hauled rubble for hours. I tossed it in the wheelbarrow along with him and
