Lilies are blooming profusely right now. They must have liked all of the rain we have had. I have the most wonderful wisteria vine, but in five years it has never bloomed even though it is growing all over my front porch. The first cosmos of the season have bloomed. The nice thing about cosmos is that they bloom the rest of the growing season as well as showing a pretty face.
In addition to writing about the flowers, I want to add a few brief words about a couple of spectacular celebrations that took place in the last five days. Sunday, Father's Day, many of the family that live close or semi-close came to these premises and celebrated. I was the oldest father there. I am going to try to name all who were present. (I'm getting old, and if I can't remember every one please forgive me.) But here goes: Jalayne, Lisa, Phil, Sheridan, Zach, Max, Mike, Emily, Kim, Chris, Elliott, Quinn, Ashley, Justin, Taylor, Braxton, Carol, Beth, Diane, Clarine and George. Jalayne was a prime-mover and helped greatly to pull the occasion together. Phil did the honors at the grill and every one brought "stuff" to eat so we really celebrated with a feast.
Yesterday was Elliott's third birthday and many of us reassembled to the Lucherinni house in Kaysville. It was another wonderful feast with Chris at the grill. The rest of the people were people closely related to Elliott, and I am not going to try to name them as I will certainly get into trouble. There were parents, grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins present. Elliott seemed to have a great time with his family around him and all of the "loot" that he got. gwh
