Bringing back an Annual Floral Parade... :-)

Old photo...  Isn't that the sweetest thing???  An old picture, from an earlier "Floral Parade."  For our 150th Ann. of Racing (this Season), we are resurrecting the "Floral Parade."  :-)  The First was held in 1894, and continued for years, until it got tooooo big, according to reports.  :-)

 According to an official program, the Third Annual Floral Parade, consisted of "magnificently decorated private equipages," over 2 thousand bicycles decorated with flowers, and "the famous Olympic Bicycle Band on wheels."  Whooo-hooooo...  That must have been fun.

 Certainly hope our resurrected one, will be pretty and fun too.  It ends with an Ice Cream Social in the Park.  Ice Cream donated by a local company.  :-)

And back to the present...  3 "Grands" over, to have "Pop" fix their bikes...

Still trying to get my picture size, big enough.  But not too big....

"Grands" showing us, some ripe wee, little tomatoes.

 

According to comments, my blog is now *working* for some, who had problems before.  Not so, for others.  -sigh-

Please keep telling me, of problems you have, with accessing and reading my blog.  With luck, all will smooth out eventually.  I'll keep this setting of only 1 entry showing...  And keep working on the pic size issue.  Keeping them nice-and-big, but not too-big.  :-)

"Past" ~ Salad ~ Kitties ~ Seeds ~ "Gardening Granny" ,-)

"Blast From The Past"...  Gabriel Michael...    June 2010...

Another "Blast From The Past"...  Gabriel Michael... September 2010...

Back, when I wanted his hair to be trimmed...

Friday night dinner...   Greens - Hard cooked eggs - apple slices - Raisins - Nuts

I had this ready, when he came home from working at the store.  Instead of having him have to do scrambled eggs, after coming home.  -grin-  Yes Folks, I spent hours, over a hot stove, preparing this meal!!!  LOL!!!

Another sure sign of Spring!!!  Next-door-son's-back-porch is open for use.  And the kitties are using it. 

You can see black/and/white "BK," on the left of the pic.  And all-black "Lucky," is more to the right...  "Lucky" is prettily back-lit, by the evening sun...

Our temps are supposed to be warming up.  So today, "Uncle A." has to complete his seed-planting-preparations.   He's getting lots of little "containers," to put them in.  If it stayed cold, he was going to put them up-stairs, in a dormer window, which has a ledge, and gets all-afternoon-sun.  But if it's warming well, he can set up his kind-of-a-green-house-effect thing, on his potting table.

YES!  I know!!  There are *such things* as plants, which can be purchased.   ,-)    But he's been really into growing his own seeds, for a while now.  :-))))

He wishes that I'd get out there and be a "Gardening Granny", like she is!!!!!!!!!!!!  :-)    Wellllllllll, if I could get that bonnet................  :-)

Kitty...Old Pics...Book...Etc.

Another kitty, out in the pool area...

It was very co-operative, and stayed still....

...Long enough, for me to keep snapping pics.  Pretty kitty, but will harass the  pretty birds...  If it keeps coming back...

Another "What Is It? pic....   Answer at bottom, but you'll probably already know it...

Old picture of weathered wood, from an old blog of mine.  The arm of an Adirondack Chair, made by "Uncle A."

OLD picture, from an OLD blog of mine...  Fixing "Granddaughter's" hair, to be in a school musical.  I needed the face mask, because a lot of hair spray, made me sneeeeeeeeze.

"Knots And Crosses"

#27 books read this year.

Since I enjoyed the last in this "Inspector Rebus" Series, I wanted to see how it all began.  Got this, the first book in the series.  Enjoyed it also.  Want to read the 2nd book in the Series.

I like 'Rebus'.  Even though these are gritty books.  We'll see how far I go, in the Series.

Read about it, by clicking on this click-able link, and going to my "Auntie's Reads  2013" blog...
