Japanese iris unfolded
Had a good strawberry crop this year. Maya liked to pick them
The same butterfly pictured above 2 weeks earlier
Peony garden at the U. My peonies did great too
Lobelia all over the place
I found a pair of nice planters in someone’s trash while out on a bike ride
So on this rainy day, instead of gardening I will catch up on this blog. Yes I love the spring and summer. Our usual birds have returned: the hummingbirds, orioles, cedar waxwings, grosbeaks and the wrens being my favorite. In the evening we sit next to our waterfall and watch the wren parents diligently hunting bugs for the babies, back and forth every few minutes. Lots of bugs this year. The babies have since fledged but they will probably raise more
Naomi is doing well in school hoping to get a degree in computer science. We have Maya a lot while she’s in classes or when her father thinks it is too expensive to pick her up
I hadn’t heard from an old friend in a while. I knew he had chronic leukemia and he had come to say goodbye to me a while back. When he didn’t return my text, I typed his name and obituary. Bingo. He died just a few days after we had communicated last. Sad.
I have not seen my friends much. I had invited them over one evening and two canceled at the very last minute. Made me sad.
My enemy, the HOA lady who thinks my big flowers are dragging everyone’s house values down has stepped on other peoples toes and has quit. So I don’t have her to worry about anymore
