Yesterday, I finished putting straw mulch on the rest of the garden.  I will put out a few more things soon.  In the meantime I hope the weeds and grass will be subdued! Later  I spent some time renovating the flower bed under the dogwood tree.  The pansies had to go.. I always want them to stay, but June dosen't provide a favorable climate for them in our area.

Today Lynn and I went to the Barn Nursery and I found a few plants to go under the tree.  I chose impatients, vinca and begonias.  I believe they will be very effective.

We are, since all the recent rain, in the midst of a misquito hatchery!  They are really swarming!  Maybe the city will do something about them.

The visit to Springboro OH for Gene's sister Dottie's 80th birthday was very special.  Gene would have loves the fireworks. Dottie has a wonderful family.  Doris, Earl and Mike are on board to see about everything

I had green beans from the garden and made dinner for Lynn and Alan.  We had green beans, potato casserole, salmon cakes and cantaloupe.

Hershey is growing! She's still very energetic but is learning some commands.  For now she is staying in the back yard and is sleeping in the dog house most of the time. (sometimes by the back door.)
