started the day in the garden… two blossoms on the hibiscus and you can see what a beautiful morning it was…

the sounds in the garden were lovely, there were chickadees and goldfinches at the feeder, while the water was falling in the pond…  

shortly after that, the nail guns took over as my neighbour was having his roof shingled, lol… caught one of the chickadees, which is difficult as they are very fast…

spent a good portion of the day getting the required groceries and making spinach dip and five pounds of potato salad for the big birthday party… mom loves the spinach dip, and dad the potato salad…

our oldest grandson turned fourteen… cannot believe that fourteen years have passed since he arrived in our lives… he is a lovely young man and George and I both enjoyed watching him as he has grown… George would be very proud… I know I am…
