I may be able to do able do a little gardening between showers today, but it will be too wet for much outdoor activity or boating.

A safe and pleasant Memorial Day to you and your loved ones!! No rain here, just HOT!! Hottest May in a very long time..our thermometer said 95 yesterday and I believe it!! Two showers and two sets of clothes later..but we are finally finished in our gardens..now everything just has to GROW!!! I just love the little scarves on the pups…and Zoe is just adorable…hope boating comes soon for you!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy Memorial Day, Mary! What a beautiful round-up of the red, white, and blue! Rain began yesterday and is supposed to last through Friday!
Good morning Mary! As we will be cleaning out the garage in hot temps & high humidity, the pup treats you shared will become people treats! LOL Love frozen berry yogurt treats! Wishing you a relaxing day with your four legged sweeties! Hope Alberto doesn’t ruin your holiday plans. Happy Memorial Day! Clara
Happy Memorial Day Mary! We won’t be boating either, but have lucked out and got a beautiful weekend with only a few showers this afternoon…big relief 😅 I’m with Gracie, a lazy day with a few treats sounds perfect!

It’s wet and gloomy in Philly too Mary… I’m hoping to not be too lazy and straighten up the craft room, but we’ll see how that plays out:@) Enjoy your day and give all the pups a goody for me!
Those frozen treats look very tasty and refreshing for us too, especially with this crazy heat and humidity we are experiencing now. We blasted into summer like a heat furnace on full thrust. I can only be out in temps in the 70’s to mid 80’s, anything higher requires me to be in water, lol! If these temps are any indication of what our summer will be, I’ll be either in my neighnor’s pool or at the beach a lot! 😁🏖 Happy Memorial Day and thanks to all who have served and those still serving!♥️🇺🇸
Happy Memorial Day, Mary! Thanks for all the red, white and blue inspiration. I smiled seeing the pics of the pups. I hope you get to enjoy some time on the boat with some of your yummy food.
Love all the red, white, and blue!!!
And now do you have a new puppy Zoe to play with Gracie?
Wonderful news if you do!!!!!
Hi Gale, Zoe is a cousin. She came over for a play date and lives with my SIL 🐾🇺🇸
A beautiful tribute, Mary. Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures! You are my favorite blog.
Thank you for remembering our brave souls who sacrifice their all to ensure our freedoms
A beautiful post to honor all who have served our country. The red, white, and blue of your photos makes my heart sing, Mary, not to mention those fluffy white darlings! Enjoy your holiday on the lake.
A Beautiful post! Love all the red white and blue displays.
Great round up of patriotic posts. Love the queen anne’s lace in the basket with the flags. Hope the sun will come out for a little while for you today. Actually at the moment it is peaking out for us. Hope it lasts a few hours. Supposed to rain a lot with wind later today. Then thunderstorms forecast all week.
Lovely tribute to our fallen HEROES. Cloudy here with the sun breaking through. 60-70 degrees today.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY To All
Marion,Joan and Marilyn
