Memorial Day Week-end

Friday some friends of mine and I attended a Plant Swap.   Doug Erickson was the coordinator for the event.   This year it was held at the Unitarian Church Parking Lot, 1330 Ridge Road, Evanston, IL   What was available:   tools, pots, seedlings, and plants galore.  I enjoyed the music and the food and the conversation.   Great event.  Thank you Doug, for all your hard work.

This photo is posted for a dear gardener who passed away last year of cancer,   Esther these photos are for you!   My husband and I have lost many men and women who were friends and relatives and know that Memorial Day isn't just a cookout but a date to remember all our loved ones who are not here anymore.   We wish to thank the service men and women who have served our country.

Skywatch Friday - Thursday, May 23, 2013

If you would like to see skies from all over the world click here:  http://skyley.blogspot.com/.   Skywatch hosts are:   Yogi, Sylvia and Sandy.

I was going into a clothing store and couldn't remember if I had locked the car or not.   I walked closer to the car then unlocked the car and then locked it again.  If I had said yeppers it is locked and gone inside the store, I would have never seen this cloud.  I almost missed this opportunity for a shot. I looked up after locking the car and saw this cloud.   It looked to me like a canoe with lots of people rowing.   What do you think it looks like?

This photograph shows the side of the crater.

Brave person putting his foot against rocks to probably balance himself.

A person really needs to be in an airplane to see how deep this crater really is.   Interested in more facts click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_Crater.

Prayers go out to to Oklahoma.
