There’s some debate about how  many geese constitutes a gaggle. Some say at least 3, others say at least 7.  Either way, I’m pretty sure this group meets the requirement.

“And on the Fourth of July they signed it
And 56 names underlined it,
And now to honor those first 13 states
We turn the sky into a birthday cake.”

I love outdoor showers.  Washing off naked under the sun is just so glorious.  Our finally complete shower may not be outdoors, but with the morning sun shining in the (new) window, it’s a pretty close second.

 

I had a little time to kill this afternoon, so I went to check out the new Asian market; Doug had put a couple things on the shopping list.  One of them was noodles.  This is the noodle aisle.

…unless you do.  I was in Framingham visiting with a friend today, so I called the folks who were my neighbors when I was a kid to ask them to check in with the new owners of “our” house and see if they’d mind me poking around the house where I grew up.  This used to be my bedroom.  I told them I was glad to still see purple.  I’m also amused that the ceiling is exactly the same.

Ali and I went to the Camp Runels open house today.  We were given a tour (which I thought was funny) by two counselors who thought it was so cool that we’d been there in the 80s.  We came across a few familiar names on the walls in the boat house and craft house.  Not much has changed.  Which made me happy.

The shelter’s annual Garden Party fundraiser was tonight, and for the first time  ever, there were kittens! Who are nearly impossible to photograph because they never stopped moving!  But, they were a big hit with all the guests, and helped us raise a bunch of funds.

OK, so it’s upside down, but it’s still a Y.  Right?  Y was hard to find, OK?  That’s why it took me so long to get to it.

Yes, they’re very cute.  They also destroyed half our plants over the winter, and are already going after the new ones.

The Green bathroom is very nearly ready.  We need to get some privacy film on the window to replace the very classy newspaper we’ve been using.  And we need to stock the medicine cabinet.  But aside from that, it’s perfectly functional for regular use.
