Baby Raccoons

These two cuties are staying out of the rain and catching a nap........It was so hard not to scoop them up and bring them home!

Memorial Day Parade 2013

 First Taps was played and then Veterans and Soldiers marched by......

 Then the Families of Service Men who are serving over seas walked by carrying pictures of their Service Members.....I couldn't even take a bad picture of the Soldier who marched alone in fatigues holding a folded flag.......And for the first time there wasn't a tram of  Pearl Harbor Survivors......

Our friends walked with their own greyhounds with the greyhound rescue group.

 It wouldn't be a parade in Metro Detroit without a few classic cars.....

Or a tractor.

Here is a reminder of what the poor thing looked like when it first came to live here. 

Quince

I think the quince shrubs in front of our house are my favorite Spring flowers of all time!
