Shades of Blue

Loved the colors at the Loose Park lake fountain.

Grandstand Burgers

Great little hamburger joint at the crossroads of Merriam and Overland Park. No room to sit inside, just picnic tables in the parking lot. Great burgers.

The Fab Five

On the occasion of the youngest of the following generation, Grace Morgan, graduating from high school. Aging well I think.

Decoration Day

as Memorial Day used to be known.

Celebration at the Station

The Kansas City Symphony performed before we turned our eyes skyward.

 

Gosling Patrol

Mom and Dad kept watch over their gaggle.

Purple Stalwart of Spring

These always remind me of my grandmother's house.

Teepee?

Wondering what they plan to do with this structure.

Uninvited House Guest

This robin has found a cozy place for a nest outside our living room windows. Apparently Zoe has decided it's OK.

Timmmmberrrr!

This huge oak fell across Ward Parkway at 59th Street on Monday night sometime, causing quite the traffic jam during the morning commute.

What's the Plan?

Odd planting of grass in this yard.

Morgan Family Bells

The Morgan family makes up half of the Colonial bell choir, and then Hayden is the director. You likely recognize, from the right, me, Stacy, Cindy and Frances. We were fabulous yesterday.

Finish on the 50 Yard Line

We ran the inaugural Chiefs 5K with the finish line on the field on the 50 yard line.

Oak Droppings

Who needs mulch when you have all of this falling out of the oak trees? Mounds of it.

Ah, Springtime in Paris

In 1969, with Cindy and Susan. Apparently the sun was too bright and I couldn't look up.

Dream Walk

I would enjoy a walkway like this with hostas this lush!

Potential

Pots look so pathetic when you start but this one particularly so because it has bulbs waiting to sprout. I will give status reports.

Self Portraits

The results of an activity at the farewell dinner for a colleague - we had to create a likeness of ourselves for her to remember us. Mine is below so you can see what a great likeness I made.

Travel Bouquet

My combination birthday and Mother's Day gift from Howard, Stacy and Hayden is a trip to New York at Thanksgiving to see the parade balloons inflated and the parade. Yeah!

Dinner Is Served

Hayden's new hummingbird feeder.

Spot Filled

Stacy and I planted the tall bush on the left to replace the holly bush that expired over the winter. Too bad you can't see Pete in the window as he watched most of our work.

Catching Up

Now that the azaleas are in full bloom, I feel we are in season.

Visible Sign

So we must be making progress in restoring our moisture since it's hovering in the air.

Survivor

This dianthus survived the winter alone in this pot and lived to bloom again.

Cake Art

Hayden didn't feel my birthday cake went well so she gave credit to her students. It tasted great.

No Day But Today

Words to live by illustrated by Hayden.

Floating Blossoms

Not Very Informative

Schizophrenic Mother Nature

Mark it. May 2, 2013, and my car was covered with snow. And yet it was 85 degrees on Monday.

Lime Slime

Everything is getting coated with this green slime. Seems to be coming from the oak trees. Don't get it on your clothes!

Happy May Day!

Hope someone brings you a May basket. That was always such fun.
