Howdy Folks! Happy Friday! Just got back from a road trip to Richmond VA to attend my lil' sis's wedding. It's always nice to see the mountains and they are bursting with green right now, and while it takes a lot longer, I prefer the drive to flying. The drive was fairly uneventful, although a couple of accidents slowed things down. "One of these days..." I'll be retired and not have a time schedule, and I plan to take my time on the drive to visit the various campgrounds and scenic wonders and have a nice drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Richmond was nice, and the temps were in the upper 50's/lower 60's for the most part during our stay. Quite chilly for RVA at the end of May/beginning of June. Did a walking tour of "The Fan" with my brother and nephew and got some nice shots, I think. It's a beautiful area of the city with lots of historic houses, including a castle that was imported brick by brick from France. Will go through them later in the weekend, no energy today...
In other news, my towering sunflower, Lurch, was felled by a storm. RIP Lurch. My Autumn Beauty sunflowers survived, so at least I'll have some sunflowers. I planted a Japanese purple sweet potato that didn't get used, and it looks wonderful. Will have to get a good pic of it. The temps are in the lower 90's here, and humid, and I mowed the lawn which is why I have almost no energy left.
Congratulations to Princess on her graduation
@SquarePeg ! That's a great milestone in life.
