beautiful june

A gorgeous, magenta peony,

and a luscious baby girl:

 A longer range view of the patio:

 This lily blooms once a year, a gorgeous pale bloom.  Lookin' good, You.

 Irises as far as the eye can see.  If you want any, come over, we'll dig you up a bucket.

And that is the end of that.

Tomorrow is her last year of school, sophomore

Sam had a needle biopsy of a big lump on her big neck yesterday.

I gladly wrote the check for $206.

We have heard nothing back on that situation, though I've been hanging near the phone.

And today was the funeral for Dannell's wonderful Grandmother, Elsie, who protected and inspired her as she grew.

Little Grandma H has been a rock to her whole family, and it was so good to be there in church with Dan and Jay on each side of me, listening to the ways this tiny, funny woman uplifted her whole family.

Onward.

Where else is there?  love, Val
