Father's Day

Summer has arrived without waiting for Spring. The weather has been great, in the high 70's and low 80's and we are getting some much needed rain. My husband and I celebrated Father's day by taking a short trip to Rice Lake. We had lunch at The China Buffet. We ate too much, but it was soooo good. We than went to out favorite store, "Dayton's" my mother-in-law, but it is really Good Will. You never know what treasure you will find. I found two very pretty Princess crystal vases, a couple shirts, almost new; and a couple of books to add to my "to be read" pile. All in all it was a pleasant afternoon.

Where is Spring?

It is spring in the Northwoods. I am wondering where the warm weather has gone. It continues to remain cold. 35 degrees this morning and cloudy. Yesterday we had a much needed day of rain to quench the dry ground. Many of my annuals have died from the lack of moisture. I spent all afternoon Sunday digging a new flower bed and transplanting my peonies. The rain did them a lot of good. I then tried to tackle digging out an old rose bush in another bed. It has been there for 9 years and does not want to leave. I dug and dug until my arms were sore. It is still there. I guess it won this battle, but I will try again when the rain lets up.

I continue to look forward to a warming up and a hot summer ahead. God is Good and he is in control. God Bless.
