Pat & Dave invited us over to share lunch with them and their son Michael – Memorial day is a holiday in USA, as well as a time to remember …
Lunch was BBQ style, burgers, hot dogs, steak tips, salad (vegetable and potato style), coleslaw – and some very tasty “chocolate rice krispie” dessert, too 🙂
Pat and Dave have a Baltimore Oriole nest in the Oak tree in their front garden, and asked me to photograph it:
One of my favourite things in the garden – I just love how it looks, with nature (Ivy & Lichen) slowly taking it over! Margaret wants me to discard it, or replace it with a bench that could actually be sat on, but I keep refusing!
In the same area of the garden, is one very happy & successful Hosta (that will get MUCH bigger as the year progresses); a few other Hostas that don’t grow so big, too …
