Flowers for the Cemetery



Despite Memorial Day being called 'the unofficial start of summer' and weathermen stating "the first of June is the meteorological start of summer" I figure I still have almost a month to get all of my spring-time tasks finished until summer actually arrives.   Mowed the lawn for the first time this year.  Hated to cut all of those violets so I left a strip of them untouched in the back. When they stop blooming there will be flowers elsewhere in the lawn.   Also swung Svaldilfari out of the way of a turtle using a pathway to get to the next pond.  The herbs are out on the deck near the back door.  I took time off to check on the flowers in the cemetery.  Gave them a little drink of water to bide them over into tomorrow.  

I'm back to thinking I'm a heavy sleeper since Whip threw up on the bed's comforter sometime in the night.  I didn't discover it until this morning.  On the good side, I planned on washing that comforter anyway before I packed it away until cold weather returns.

Tick count 6.
