It's Flag Day! Strike Up the Band!

June 14th, and we actually have a beautiful sunny day. The Boy Scouts in our ward don their uniforms and assemble at 6:00 on patriotic days, and put flags in conspicuous places in the yards of those who want them. It's a worthy fund-raiser for the Scouts and certainly brightens up the neighborhoods as these flags fly bravely in the breezes. Since this is the first real day of good weather for a while, we feel as bright as these flags that honor our nation. The blue flax and columbine are in bloom - very late into the season, but that's just a result of the cold rainy-snowy days we had through the month of May and early June. Aren't they loverly?

I am glad the sun has found its way to your house today. Hopefully that will become more the norm for your corner of the world. Our days are warming up, the peas are blooming, and I had to fight a robin for a red strawberry this morning. Enjoy your pretty posies!
