In Celebration of Neighborliness

We are so happy to have Barb as our next door neighbor. We share a love of flowers, the outdoors, and we also share Ava the golden doodle. About three weeks ago, during our cold rainy spell, Barb took advantage of a rare clear and semi-warm afternoon to work on her laptop out in her front garden.

At that time, Barb's clematis vines were at their peak of glorious bloom. We have never been able to grow these flowers but they really like whatever she is feeding them! And we are not the least bit jealous!

Ava has been staying with us this week while Barb does some business travel and enjoys a friend's wedding. If Ava looks a little sad, I think it's because she misses Barb. Or she could just be trying to get another treat out of sympathy!

I have some other posts to publish over this weekend, as I finally uploaded recent pictures from the camera. So far this Memorial Day weekend we have gone to the Ferguson Farmers' market, grilled hamburgers for supper, and just enjoyed a couple of cooler, drier days after a week of 90s and thundershowers. Norm got the lawn mowed and edged yesterday and we are still planting flowers and trying to acclimate houseplants to the front porch.
