This past weekend was Memorial Day and as part of our observance we put up our flag as did our neighbors across the street. Took the above photo looking through our trees out front.

| The squash, tomato, lemon grass, cucumber and papaya are liking this planting bed |
Though we usually stay home rather than being out and about like so many others do on this 3 day weekend, we are generally busy with projects and taking some time to enjoy the lives that the sacrifices of those who serve our country allow us to have. This included working in my side garden. I've shown pictures of the tower and VGS systems and all their progress, but this is how my raised beds are coming along.
Took some closeups of the squash flowers and pea flowers. Amazing how beautiful these produce bearing plants are in bloom.

| This pea blossom includes some aphids that I blasted with the hose after taking the picture |
 |
| Love the detail in the fringy edges |
Had a little Marsh Rabbit stop by to munch on our lawn, before disappearing back into the trees.
Several plants that like heat are blooming and two of the examples of these are our large Sago Palm and the variegated Canna out front.

| The second bud here bloomed the following day - pretty |

| Curious lizard watching me |
Finally, we took advantage of the warm weather to cool off in the pool. Kevin and the girls lounged in there until they were all quite pruny.

 |
| Lauren's quite proud that she can go under water and hold her breath |
 |
| Kevin's created his own pool chair with the noodles |
Life is good and we are blessed.
