Flowers
My pots are filled with flowers. The rest of the yard is still a wreck. But it looks like we are going to have great roses this year.
This weekend, we had a house guests: Jenny Warwick & Dan Peterson came up for Shambhala Guide Training.
Also, the grand opening of Bridgeport village has happened. I am very pleased to see so many people walking back and forth with bags of groceries. I made Grand Central Cream Cheese Apple Cake which is a really good treat.
