June Saturday
Olga and I picked as many ripe strawberries as we could find today. You can see the plants in the bed against the garage behind her head. They don’t get a whole lot of sunlight, but it stays nice and warm next to the wall, and I think they like that.
Of course, greedy as we are, we gobbled them up while Gavin was napping. (Sorry, Gav.)
Upon waking from his nap, Gavin did his Harry Potter impersonation all over the yard with an old broom.
This rose bush has behaved very badly all season, and finally it is starting to bloom properly. It was making these massive buds that would swell and start to bloom, then suddenly get so heavy that the stem would bend over and the entire mass of petals would drop right off onto the patio in a globe of pink, then rot. Now it looks like it’s going to explode into a bouquet right on the bush, and the stems seem to be supporting the blooms. Anyone have any idea what is going on with this bush?
I want to remember this day forever.

….and you will tuck this day away in the corner of your hearts and be able to pull it out and unwrap it like a present…….

What lovely memories you are making. It reminds me of the days when my own children were young. I loved the summer, because we could have so much fun together, and I hated to see the school year start!

I don’t know what is going on with your roses but they are absolutely beautiful. Such a nice day, the children seem to be loving their new home!
