Digging sods
Here's what I've been up to...
The Winterberry bushes needed more room. Next, I add mulch.

Juneteenth!
Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863,
it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result,
in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free
until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000
enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree.
This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

Weigala
This bush was passed to us from Youngest's house a few weeks ago. It was almost bare, but for some leaves and rather unhappy there in the shade. We set it in the sun and it blossomed out! Can't wait to see it next year...!

Memorial Day Weekend
"Americans wear the symbolic red flower on Memorial Day—the last Monday in May—to commemorate the sacrifice of so many men and women who have given their lives fighting for their country."
"The Remembrance Day symbolism of the poppy started with a poem written by a World War I brigade surgeon who was struck by the sight of the red flowers growing on a ravaged battlefield."

Favourite restaurant for 46 years has fallen to COVID-19
Utterly heartbreaking. 💔
Young's Restaurant in Durham, NH is closing permanently.
Wil and I have been dining at Young’s since our college days, and I even remember eating there while pregnant with our first child. 46 years of Young’s, and we have 5 children and 8 grandchildren. Always the people at Young’s were wonderful, the food excellent and the atmosphere just got better and better.
We are so grateful for everything all these years. 💛
They will be sorely missed and so fondly remembered!

RIP Jo*in*VT
It was during the Dean Campaign that I met Jo. She was one of the members of the original Dean blog, and when a bunch of us wanted to put together a special quilt for Howard Dean, I collected the squares and Jo and I got together at her house and she sewed it together! When Kimmy was grieving because her sister had died; we did it again. I collected squares for a special quilt and Jo sewed that one together too. It's kind of a metaphor of all that Jo was and did in her amazing life. She was the one who took the scattered, incongruous parts and sewed them all together into something comforting and useful. It also expresses so well her kindness, strength and "let's get this done" approach to life. Her voice stays with me, and her smile. Wwe talked on the phone from time to time and her voice still seems fresh in my heart. May it ever be so. Rest in Peace, Jo. You are already missed, dear friend!
