Memorial Day Weekend

Today is Memorial Day. The day we honor those that have protected and are still protecting our country. What a beautiful weather day we've had. As I went for a walk this morning with Greg and a bike ride this afternoon to take pictures I thought about those brave men and women who gave their lives for us... and I thank them. This is my wonderful gazebo dressed for the occasion. Click on it for a larger view.
We dressed our house for the occasional as well with hanging flower baskets and a flag. There's something about a flag blowing in the wind that I find almost magical.
Last Thursday was the awards ceremony at Emily's school. She received two awards, one was an Outstanding Achievement award in Electronic Imaging and the other was Spirit of Science in Environmental Science.
Once again I am trying for a garden. I have 7 tomato plants that I bought at a nursey on our deck. I will update the photos as the season progresses. I also have some zucchini planted as well. I was afraid if I posted their photos you wouldn't be able to see them.
On Saturday Mark spent his day off honing his wood pile. I think perhaps he's building a fortress out there. At any rate it looks very nice, too bad we don't have a fireplace.
This is the view as you approach his gazebo. I hope this post finds you all happy and well and you were able to enjoy this beautiful weather and special weekend.
