It started out a gloomy day,  though the robin was singing a cheery song….

Clouds were dark and the winds blew….

Then came bits of blue….

Finally the clouds parted and the sun shone brightly by late afternoon.

I weeded my pea plot….

George put down some mulch around the sage and guara….

We planted a couple of maple trees from seedlings, and I transplanted the collards which were getting crowded in their bucket.

Tonight the laundry is underway, groceries have been bought to see us through to Thursday, and the basic housecleaning is done.

George had three requests for his Father’s Day.   First was to have me help him map out his summer bus run by going out and driving it this morning.  Second, he asked if I would buy some ribs he could cook on the grill.  And finally, he asked if I would try the raisin bread recipe in the breadmaker. All accomplished!

We’re making headway on that list that needs to be whittled away before we can leave on vacation.

After all that rain this past week, it finally cleared up this morning, and turned out to be a beautiful Father’s day. Our son was here for dinner with our daughter-in-law and the 2 girls. We had a nice dinner and I briefed them on the “chores” to do while we’re away. They live just 2 doors down and will be looking after everything while we’re gone.. We’re leaving in the morning for 4 days of train watching in central Penna. Sort of a gift to Gary for Father’s day. We’ll be staying at a B&B, and I won’t have to do any cooking ! Yea! I’ll be blogging from there.
Have a great week.

Rain?! Please enjoy it. I don’t know the last time it rained and I probably won’t see rain until October. Beautiful pictures.
