Fruit for a Party

We went to a terrific party this weekend and I brought the fruit plate. They roasted a pig, which was delicious. There was a band and a moonwalk also.

Lily in Nunda

Here is another flower picture from my garden. I can't help myself -- natural beauty is so striking to me, and I love flowers. It's not the true "city" picture you might expect, but not a lot of mine are. It's what I am drawn to, so it's what I choose to share with you. . . .

Here is a larger picture of the Cloudburst!

This was the entire cloud -- the tip of this cloud was posted last week. . .

Almost the longest day of the year . . .

Happy Summer Night!

Cloudburst!

We have had some very unpredictable weather lately . . lots of storms, then sun, then humid, then storms, then cool and clear. I have posted cloud pictures in the past. If I knew how to archive my pictures by type like some of you do. . . I could sort them!

Dragonfly Eye

This guy came to visit us today while I hung sheets out to dry on the clothesline. Very interesting Cyclops!

First Strawberries!

All of the rain and warm weather we have had was good for the berries! There are lots more forming. It looks good for the pear and cherry trees also. . .

It's finally getting warmer -- now summer will be here before we know it. It has been an exceptionally cool spring around Nunda Township.
