Our town has two garden clubs, we meet at different times and months. Both clubs work hard beautifying the town with hard work and shared knowledge.

I came late after a chiropractic appointment(no digging for me) and labeled a few plants and snapped a few photos of the gang and the tulips blooming around us.

Merry on the other hand is oblivious and looks her cinnamon roll self except for that dreadful haircut and a little weight loss. We trust our vet, so we shall see what happens next.

We had terribly uncomfortable folding chairs in the gym and a garbled sound system that delayed the start of the meeting by and hour for the fix. Tonight it resumes again at 7. No comments last night and none tonight I think as well, sorry.
For the Record,
This day came in very chilly with rain.
I retired from public school teaching after happily spending twenty eight years playing in Kindergarten. Now I fill my days watching cat antics, taking endless...
