The pleasure of their company

Very little in life is ordinary

The gift of a daughter,and of an old friend,

with time to share a meal together is

precious time..........
The ratings? A 10 for company, a 10 for atmosphere..............

and the pronouncement: "Momma, if I could, I would give you a star on

your chart for this meal!"

I guess those star charts of 20 years ago made more of an

impression than I realized!

But, finally, the dragon flies are back..........

Usually these red dragonflies appear the first week of June. This year , though, this one and its companion arrived the first day of summer. I had a few minutes of photography time with them, and then they were off soaring over the pond, dipping in and out of the pond. Their afternoon appeared to include conjugal activities, so I look forward to future years of dragonfly visits!

Gotta love her smile!

"Farewell to Spring" is still flourishing in the garden......................
