What a gorgeous day!!! The temperature hit 88 with a little breeze and spring flowers blooming all over. Jen's rhododendrons almost in full bloom, various colors of iris are around the yard, and pink peony's are in bloom by the front sidewalk. She has a gorgeous fuchia in a hanging pot in the tree that is just loaded with purple blooms and my geranium is on her front porch putting out all kinds of red blooms.
The family spent a fair amount of time in the yard in the morning and early afternoon pulling weeds, trimming the grass, getting the little fish pond running, and preparing the bonfire area for a fire.
Then in the late afternoon families began arriving (23 people in all) for a picnic, games, socializing, and just plain fun spending time together. Rachel had requested this gathering of all her friends from the homeschooling gym class she attends each week locally. I ended up playing some board games with the youngest attender (9 year old Isabella) and Noelle for a while then we all went outside to enjoy a fire, make somemores, and play with sparklers.
