The Marriage - Holy Family Church

My mom and dad were married in the Holy Family Church rectory. They weren't allowed to be married in the church proper since my mother had only recently coverted to catholicism. Not that any of that had a damned thing to do with the Bible and everything to do with treating others differently.

Our Front Yard Garden

The English Garden

My garden obsession this year is Hydrangea macrocarpa specifically this L.A. Dreamin' Hydrangea with its various colors.

Blueberries in Our Garden

Becuase of our many blueberry bushes, the Cardinals and Robins make their nests every spring and feast through the summer.

The heat, my gawd, the heat!

My daughter does hilarious and dramatic poses. I wonder how long she holds them before I pass, notice, and laugh. She smiles when I laugh. All of us have such a splendid life here.

Alex

My life has been graced with Golden's and Golden Mixes.
Alex was a Golden/Collie who was rabidly protective of me. He had a long career of biting men.
He especially disliked anyone who raised their hand over their head as if to strike. Even a contractor raising a hammer. Alex was a rescue so it's likely he came from a place where he was beaten. Perhaps by a man raised his hand over his head.
Alex was my body guard.
Alex had a few meetings with animal control where luckily, he was careless with his charm and appraised as harmless.
