Roses in The Garden

I hope everyone had a nice July 4th, even those of us who are abroad. I went to have hot dogs and hamburgers at a friend's house and then to see the fireworks.

Here are some pictures that I took last week at The Public Garden. I thought the gardeners among us might enjoy them. Don't forget that you can click on the photos to get a nice large image.

Fourth of July Weekend

This weekend we celebrated Independence Day and Mary Lou's 50th birthday with a party in the backyard. We ate fajitas and swam. Then we went to the neighbors and did sparklers and fireworks. Here is a picture of a firework called Purple Rain.


Christine and PJ came in too. Above is a picture of Marcy and PJ playing in the living room. The cousin dogs got along well. PJ only went over the fence a few times. Tim, Mary and Catherine also visited for the weekend.


Mary Lou's cake was a tres leches cake, and Gloria brought a fun cake for the Fourth that looked like the American flag.
