MY GARDEN GNOME AT THE CASITA

MY GRANDKIDS TELL ME THAT "DUCKLIPS" ARE "IN"!
SO QUACK QUACK:  ME, ROSEMARY, MARISA AND SELENA 

I SAT NEXT TO RYAN LASSILA IN CHURCH, AND HIS LITTLE BOY, TREYTON, HANDED ME A 5 INCH SQUARE ETCH-A-SKETCH.  I ENDED UP DRAWING HIM A BUNCH OF ANIMALS FOR HALF THE SERMON.  I SPOSE THAT'S OK ONCE IN A WHILE TO DO ARTWORK IN CHURCH?

OUR CALUMET CEMETERY IS BEAUTIFUL EVERY JUNE WITH THE BLANKET OF PINK AND WHITE CREEPING PHLOX.  PETE TRIED A FEW TIMES TO PLANT SOME ON OUR GRAVESITE, BUT SOMEHOW THEY DIDN'T GROW.  I HAVE TRIED A FEW TIMES SINCE PETE DIED, AND AT LAST I HAVE A SMALL PATCH GROWING.  THEY SHOULD BLOOM NEXT YEAR.
