I don’t care to post much text. No one’s listening anyway. But I hope that pictures of the flowers I see, and some I grow, will make people smile.

We were treated to four deer using a holly bush as their salad bar under light snow. They were just as peaceful and innocent as they look.

I usually don’t post any text, but I need your help. I’m riding 180 miles over Father’s Day Weekend to raise money for the American Lung Association. If you can donate to help me, I’d appreciate it. Donations of ANY amount are welcome.
