Memorial Day 2010
On Monday, Sarah marched in the Memorial Day parade with her T-ball team.
Down East Market Street they went.
Sarah also had a visit from her friend Emanuelle. They both enjoyed the jungle gym.
Meanwhile, Jen made good progress on her garden. The lettuces attracted some local attention.
There was plenty of action on the pond, including regulars such as red-wing blackbirds:

… and, of course, barn swallows, out looking for mosquitoes:
This visitor (a calico pennant) looks like it came from the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.
Our friend was back:

And, because it is spring, there were plenty of poppies and peonies in bloom.
