5/27/15- On Memorial Day, I watched my brother (Daniel) and his son-in-law (Jesse) build two nice size garden boxes.  My sister-in-law (Mary Ann) planted spearmint tea in one and my niece (Deborah) planted herbs in the other garden.  We had planned a picnic for the evening but was cancelled because of the long day with the garden boxes and Mary Ann's mother is in the hospital with a femur fracture and multiple other medical problems.

5/26/15- I was invited to my nephew's house (Weston) for dinner.  It was so good to spend time with his wife (Stephanie) and their 3 children.  We had some excitement in their yard with a turtle deciding to dig a hole in the dirt and lay 9 eggs.  She then covered the hole and left.  Stephanie told me that she will not return and the little ones are on their own if the survive the neighborhood fox!!

Today, we sorted through a lot of yarn that was given to my niece (Deborah) then off to her Aunt Polly's for a minute and then we picked 4 gallons of strawberries.  I came back to the house, made myself comfortable and started to clean the strawberries which took most of the afternoon.  Mary Ann made some wonderful cheddar cheese chowder soup for dinner and then we had strawberry shortcake and it was delicious.  Also cut some more asparagus.  With warm weather they are really growing.  Now watching some basketball with my niece (Rachel) and off to bed
