SUNNY SKIES ON FATHER'S DAY!

We were so happy to be greeted with sunshine today.  The warmth brought out smiles all around, and we really enjoyed playing for so many people who were appreciating being outside in the sun.  Lots of folks lay down on the grass -- dry at last - and listened and relaxed in a horizontal position.  We talked to a saxophone player from Chicago who hopes to make his own recording soon, and a Korean family who listened to us playing our own arrangement of "Arirang." 

The three fantastic BULL FROG great pictures below were sent to us by our friend Bruce, who artfully captured the frog...perhaps the very one who sits under the dock and croaks on occasion. Thank you Bruce!

Today's garden theme is PURPLE.  PURPLE irises, next to the stream and near the pond...so refreshing and elegant. 





The paulownia tree is done blooming -- the end of just a short few weeks of blossoms.
The turtles enjoyed the warmth of the sun, and watched the carp from their rocks.
The waterlilies furthest out in the pond bloom first, it looks like.....

John, heading out with our gear. IT IS SO GREAT TO BE WEARING T-SHIRTS INSTEAD OF WOOL COATS!
