Memorial Day

Years ago we didn't use artificial flowers to decorate our family's graves. We would go to Aunt Madge and Francis' house and pick the real thing.
Mother used tin cans wrapped in aluminum foil added some water and fresh flowers. We would make the rounds to Arcola, Mound, & Salisbury Cemeteries to show our respect to departed family members. At Mound Cemetery we would drive up the hill to see the Dog Monument.

Aunt Madge and Francis would make beauftiul arrangements in big baskets to place on the graves and also took flowers to church on Sundays.

Beautiful Flower Identified as an Amaryllis




Two years ago a library patron gave Alison two plants that came to live at my house. Well, one bloomed this year and I don't know what it is but I know it's beautiful. Hoping someone can identify this flowering plant from a bulb.

New Camera Canon Powershot SX120IS






Before Christmas I purchased a new digital camera. I wasn't happy with the pictures taken with it over the holidays so I returned the camera. After looking at other cameras and reading about them on the internet I still didn't know what to buy. So guess what I brought the same one again...........the salesman convinced me to give it a second chance. So far so good, Katelyn will be the real test.
