This 'n That

Gosh, had to get up early for the last gathering of our class at brunch. We had a little more structured time this morning for those who wanted some time to talk as a group -- but it turned into a "Trivial Pursuit" time of reminicsing. I even won a bottle of wine for remembering what teacher "never polished his shoes?" Our History teacher Mr. Hurst wore beautiful Italian suits, but never ever polished his shoes -- he'd been an MP in World War II and had vowed he'd never polish another shoe when he got out of the service!


I took these pictures the other day on the road to Cow Lake:




I don't know how palatable wild iris are for cattle feed, but there were a lot of them blooming and they sure were pretty!


This is the view from Auntie Violet's front door this evening as the sun was going down:



Every year the American Legion puts up flags all the way around the cemetery for Memorial Day. This morning, they were flapping in the breeze and the sunlight and this evening they are perfectly still as the sun sets.


And one last picture of Auntie Violet snuggled in for the night in the trees:
