Hello everyone! Friday has rolled around yet again -- the start of another weekend. I haven't posted here since the first week in June. Shortly after I wrote that post about our family beach trip, Hal and I got Covid. We came home from the beach the day before Memorial Day, and later that week Hal got Covid. By the first of the following week, I had it, too. We both had very mild cases; Hal thought his was just a head cold, but mine was just different enough that it made me decide to go to the doctor. I had a bad case of pneumonia years ago; it was terrible, and I wanted to make sure I didn't have that again. The worst thing about this Covid for us has been the cough and the way our energy got zapped. However, we're almost completely back to normal again, and we are thankful. I hope you all had a nice Fourth of July. My friend, Vee, posted something that exactly summed up my thoughts about July 4th this year, and I was glad to read it. You can see her post here. Today, I'm sharing some pictures from Reynolda Gardens, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. We haven't done much lately other than try to stay cool indoors where it's air-conditioned. I took these pictures last year, in the last week of July, so possibly many of the same things are blooming there right now. The pictures were taken in the evening, so they all have a rather mellow (and sometimes) fuzzy quality.
