Enjoy Memorial Day....

 Thinking of all the families gathered to celebrate.  We will be taking our wreaths and arrangements to the cemeteries in the morning....

When I was a little girl, we cut peonies and took them in a huge, granite dishpan...  We made fat, pink and white bouquets and were careful to secure wet paper towels and foil wrapped around each one's stem....  My dad always made a red rose basket for his mom and dad...

Memorial Day called for a cookout and signaled the official start to summer.

Have a safe and happy weekend!
