My Peony flowers are in full bloom just in time for Memorial Day weekend.  When I was growing up Memorial Day weekend was a prescribed ritual of gathering Peonies from my Grandfathers yard and heading to the cemetery to decorate the grave sites of relatives.

Our dogwood tree in full bloom!

And here is a photo of Day 1 of my garden this year.  I planted:

12 tomato plants (5 varieties), green beans, snap peas, zucchini, cucumbers,  peppers,  rosemary, cilantro, basil. I’ve still got some room left in the garden..but will leave it for the cucumbers to take over.

I get asked a lot about FIOS internet service. I love it…great speed for downloading and uploaded.

Here is a speed test result:

We went shopping at David’s Bridal in Freehold today for Emma’s prom dress.

This was the dress she picked out.

This was a cute red dress

This was my favorite on her….but as you can tell by her face, she didn’t like it.

This was a cute dress–but really huge on Emma.

We visited the Penn State Altoona campus this weekend.  The photo above is of the campus reflecting pool. Emma will be attending the school next fall.

My neighbor’s horses mugging for the camera.

The photographer who shot my parents wedding for their 50th anniversary mailed them back the 4×5 negatives.  He shot 30 shots with with a 4×5 camera.  Quite a difference from today…where I’ll shoot 800-900 images at a wedding.  I’ve got a new scanner that scans in large negatives, so I am going to be scanning in the negatives during the long winter.
