I keep taking picture but haven't had time to post them. I was watching the wind blow the grasses out by the pond today. We've now definitely moved from spring flowers onto summer flowers.
Father's Day brunch at the folk's place.
Went to a very good Thai place last night for dinner. It's in this strip mall and the sign on the outside just says "Thai Curry House", but inside it's about as authentic as it gets in the Upper Midwest. The food was grand and the decor really beautiful. They even had floor seating on cushoins. The pic above is a poor shot of a butterfly carved from a single slice of carrot that topped my pineapple rice. The presentation of all our dishes was surpisingly professional and the prices were reasonable.
We had some crazy weather on Saturday. Thankfully no tornados, but hail that came out of nowhere. We had local radar up looking at a few patches of clouds and suddenly we hear a light clack-clack. My wife just got the car in before we were seeing marble and quarter sized chunks of ice. The hail obliterated the plants we had just purchased. It was so sad! there were petals strewn across the sidewalk. It looked like a foliage warzone. We went and got new plants now and are nursing the ones that survived the ice. And I'm happy to see that our favorite tree out front is already sporting a few new flowers. It's pretty amazing to see nature carry on.
