How was your long weekend?

Believe it or not, it is JUNE!! The month of Father's Day, gradutations, and  Juneteenth.   Juneteenth is the same day that we are visiting the capital -- June 19th.  It will be a great way to celebrate this holiday!

Did you have a good weekend? What did you do?  I spent most of my weekend weeding the yard in the rain.  It really needed it! The weeds are growing like crazy this year because of all the rain.  I hope we get some sunny weather soon!  Until then, we have to cheer ourselves up with the enthusiastic dandelions!
