   Church yesterday morning, Communion Sunday so my sister joined me.  Other Sundays she and her husband watch online.  The service is available on line all day so Lynne goes home Communion Sunday and watches online with Tom.  One good thing from Covid, church is now online for those who can't attend in person.

   I came home, cleaned the house and watered the plants.  Then I spent a pleasant afternoon with Gilbert, Barbie and Family.  Rachael had some friends who had also graduated visiting.   Even's grandparents, from Oklahoma. were there.  They have all our gardening problems plus a few more. Late afternoon Lil Andrew, the kids, and I walked to the cemetery. Lil Andrew weeded around Darel's grave.  It is still too wet to mow the cemetery.  May 7th is my birthday, Granddaughter Sally Jo's birthday and Great Granddaughter Charlotte's Birthday.  Nicole made a birthday dinner for us last evening.

   Open Greenhouse Day made the greenhouse a very busy place yesterday afternoon.  Sister in law Heather and cousins were here  to help Jay and Bekah.  The greenhouse is open Sunday afternoons and Mondays in addition to the other days of the week for the month of May.

    May God bless you on this day, Sally
