Out of the blue. . . . . . .Independence Day

Sleeping-in a bit later than usual - and why not if your body tells you it requires

 more rest - did mean I almost missed the Morning glories in all their glory!

They open early then in the heat of the late morning start to curl up again,

so you have to be quick with a camera! Two colors opening now - I think

I sowed mixed seeds so there will be surprises.

As nice as it is to be at home to celebrate Independence Day, we are usually

somewhere else. Most often in early July we head north to New England, first

 to visit Bob's home in New Hampshire to celebrate his birthday on July 5th,

then we do a lot of driving around Vermont, Maine, and usually a stop in

 Massachusetts where we also lived before moving south.  Although we 

no longer have family there we do have wonderful friends. We'll miss

seeing them this year now that travel is out of the question

All of New England is beautiful - and if you've ever been there I know

you will agree.
