May Block Dancing Flowers

Birthdays and sundry

It is a rainy day...it started out sunny and warm, but the rain has continued through this afternoon, and I don't think there is going to be any letting up...it looks like there are plenty of showers to the west moving this direction.

I have had a chance to do some mowing, some pruning the honeysuckle out of the french lilac, vacuuming the floor. Talking on the phone with friends and family, opening birthday presents from grandchildren. I have a couple of small shrubs that need planting, but maybe when the rain gives out I'll go take care of it.

Tonight we are supposed to attend a silent auction staged out-of-doors, and I am wondering if it will happen...Ron is sowing grass seed..and the dogs and I are just lounging in the living room.

I spoke with my daughter today, we were talking about her favorite food groups as a child, crackers, pepperoni, and cheese, I think she liked chocolate pudding too.
As her son is now a year old we were discussing fruits; and, she admitted a weakness for cherries. Now this is surprising to me as I do not remember having many on hand when she was a child, other than in a cherry pie...my favorite. While I was pregnant with her I made a cherry pie each week...I so craved them. I think I could live without any fruit except cherries...when I was a child we had a cherry orchard, according to my mom, she had more trouble with me raiding the cherry trees then with the birds.

So maybe this desire is genetic...
