     The forsythia bush, the pagoda dogwood and bamboo have been conspiring to smother out my lilies.  And I've been too tired to do anything about it,  Each day I've been doing a little better.  Yesterday I was able to pull and cut back the plants that were acting like thugs so that they wouldn't lay on the lilies when they were wet and heavy.  And the lilies will get sun when it shines again.  I was wet and tired, there is a lot more to do but they are safe for now.

    Lots of customers came, even with umbrellas everyone got wet.  It didn't rain hard but it was steady.  No watering was necessary.   When they weren't waiting on customers they worked in the greenhouse transplanting.  Jay planted my begonia boxes that go along the back of the house and placed them.  The begonias aren't in bloom yet but they will be.  He also started working on the boxes in front of the garage.  They need some repair.

   Today is graduation day for the high school.  I am thankful that I am strong enough to go. No grandchildren graduating but a special one who's always called me gram.  I'm also thankful that the thunderstorms are this Saturday, not next Saturday.  A pleasant day is forecast for Sally Jp and Kaden's wedding.

   May God be with you on this day, Sally
