It was a busy weekend. The high light of which was a VERY moving sermon by one of the deacons of our church...basically, I was a sobbing mess after service. I can't truly put my finger on it, but I was touched by the words she chose to express her gratitude to our service men and women past and present, forgotten or remembered.
Our town's tradition is to have the Memorial Day Parade march to the cemetery to honor our fallen heroes through music, prayer, and speeches. As president of the historical society, I suggested we dress in varying period costumes to kind of liven things up and not seem so dowdy. It was a lot of fun.

What a great idea to get dressed up like that - you might have started a tradition.
Your new blog title picture is beautiful!! The color in your poppy is simply magnificent.
Thanks! I was surprised at it's color as the peachy/pink ones next to this are such a large clump and blooms first, that I forgot what color this one is.
Let's hope, although the Carnival Parade is at the end of July and much, much hotter. One nice thing about the costumes is that quite a few people approached me after the parade and asked to join the historical society cuz it seemed like we were a fun group. Go figure huh?
Are your day lilies starting? I remember you had quite an amazing collection last year.
