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?
