It's not that I don't have anything to write about because we have stayed busy traveling to visit children and having grandkids coming to visit us. The problem I seem to be having is how do I write about all these fun filled extravaganzas if I can't mention my kids, or their spouses or the grandkids or where they live or what they do for a living. I have some wonderful pictures but they are a no-no also.
But just in case you're interested in rose bushes. This is a rose bush outside my back door. Many years a friend can up to show me a rose he picked off the bush in his yard and told me this was from a cutting that his great grand mother had brought with her from Germany. After he left I decided I would put the cutting in the ground. Well lo and behold the flower rooted and came back and has continued to grow all these years. Our friend has been deceased for a number of years, but I always think of him when I see the roses bloom.
The picture to the right is a picture of the "super moon". I heard about it on TV and that night I went out on the back porch and sure enough it was the biggest, brightest moon ever and it lit up all the neighborhood almost like it was day time.
This was taken at about 9:00 in the evening.
The double rainbow was taken on July the 4th. After a long rainy day the sun finally came out late in the afternoon. The bow looked to set right in our neighbor's back yard.
This picture was made at the beach in late June. These people were swimming and sunning themselves, but John and I were about to freeze. The temps were in the high 60's but the wind off the water made it seem much colder. 60 degree weather doesn't happen often in Al. so Ca. felt like the Artic.
Here we have our bonfire. Made smores and eliminated a huge brush pile at the same time.
I always think of John's Aunt who would say to her husband "Oh shut Bill you know you're boring them"
