Mother's Day 2023

 We had a nice Mother's Day! The family came over. Here I am with our son Mike.

And here are the three girls with me.

Jazz had on the cutest shoes. She told me they got them at Goodwill.

Jazz & her Dad.

Phil & Mike had some long talks.

The two youngest girls have been taking tennis lessons. Since Phil has not been able to play anymore due to his arthritis, he gave them his racquets and tennis bags. I must admit this was a sad moment for me. Phil always loved to play and has won many trophies. The end of an era I guess.

A rare photo of all three girls on their devices at the same time!

They brought me this huge hanging flower basket, so beautiful!

Sunday Sunset

 

The gods had a picnic supper to-night
Sitting around a blazing fire—
I saw the smoke and rosy flame
Over in the west.
I wanted to watch them, but as I went nearer
They let the fire go out.

Cat & Cow

 The Big Cat & The Big Cow are now dressed for summer. The cat has a lovely bird's nest kind of wreath on his head.

And since this week is graduation, the Big Cow is dressed for the occasion.

I finally came to the conclusion that this thing on his head is a graduation mortar board cap. Because it looks like a tassel is hanging from it.

“A graduation ceremony is where the commencement speaker tells 2000 students dressed in identical caps and gowns that individuality is the key to success.”

The Gardening Ducks

 We saw these adorable gardening ducks at the garden center today. Now I wish I would have looked at the price.

What do you call it when it rains chickens and ducks?

The Tree

 Both real and unreal trees. This was outside an art warehouse and was painted on a cinderblock wall.

As Seen On The Streets

 

“Few people go to art exhibitions. The power of Street Art is that it goes to people’s daily life to be seen.”

The Paws

 Look what we drove behind! I have never seen paw backup lights, and think they are so cool!
