Ahhh.these  beautiful early summer days.. though I guess it’s technically still spring.   Last night we went to our friends Beth and Scott’s weeding party in Mills river park.. .they had done up the pavilion in the park very elegantly.. it was a great  night. they looked really happy !

On the way home we decided to surprise Hannah and Dave with a visit since we were near their house.  Adah and Senyah were still awake which was cool. Adah borrowed my glasses. Then she dug up her old stuffed bunny that she used to call ‘whiskers’., which is what she now calls me.. !

The girls fell asleep while Dave, Hannah. Diane and I got to catch up.

I always love the artwork in their house.. I especially love this piece which has an expression I remember my grandfather Dave using often.

Today started   earlier than I intended.. Gabe’s alarm accidentally woke us at 4:47 AM.. Ugh.. We managed to get back to sleep anyway. The early morning was rainy but got up into the 60’s and sunny for the afternoon. Perfect !. We spent the day working in the gardens which is wonderful and mindless. II occasionally found my mind wandering back into work.. but closed it off when I noticed it. I tried to keep my mind empty or on the dirt..

During one of our work breaks I happened to notice a small pile of sawdust under the table that we’re table-sitting for Deb and family  ..  I checked out the sawdust and found a small hole in the table.. and.. a big fat white wood worm !  The same thing happened to deb about 10 years ago.. .. I think the table wood is supposed to be 300 years old.. so who knows how long this guy has been blindly chewing around in there.. ?!

Speaking of industrious animals.. Diane called my attention to this busy ant trying to transport a dandelion seed from one place to another. Look at the stamina here !

This evening we went out to eat (single Pebble) with our friends Jen and Tim.. It was a nice night in Burlington.. everyone was out in the streets.. We had a great meal then took our friends on what we always called the ‘Burlington art tour’.. That means looking at the 30 year old marble sculptures along battery street by the lake..

This is such a beautiful town..  !

We just got off a 1.5 hour Skype call with Deb and kids from Buenas Aires.. they’re all doing great. It’s late now so I’ll say goodnight.. talk to you all tomorrow.. G’nite Sam !
