Memorial Day 2019
We enjoyed the Memorial Day Parade — that unchanging, Norman Rockwell exemplar of small-town what have you — from the commodious front porch of the Kaimal/Lawsons, who, sadly, were away tending to Maya’s ailing mother.
Here is the view from said porch, including what is possibly the nation’s largest ginkgo tree. For visitors Lew, Rinda, Erica and Geoff, this capped off a pleasant weekend of superb weather, numerous sandwiches, and highly competitive Boggle.
The parade is unchanging, except that each year a new Poppy Girl is coronated.
After the parade, the ladies (including Daisy) and I walked down to the swamp to look in on our thriving heron rookery.
We have many herons this year, including these proud parents.
Another weekend highlight was Sarah’s first competition with Cisco, whom Sarah gave the show name Talk of the Town. Cisco/TotT is still a bit green, but Sarah had him under control and they won some ribbons.
