Used to be a Decoration Day.
Here is a song by Flatt and Scruggs

Bouquet In Heaven
When it’s decoration day in Heaven
There’s a bouquet I’m longing to see
There’s a flower somewhere in the bouquet
That means all the world to me

Now she left the old homeplace is lonely
Since mother has been called away
And I know I can never more see her
‘TiI we meet on that decoration day.

I remember the night the angles called her
To live on that beautiful shore
It left us so lonely here without her
It can never be like home anymore.

Good evening, radu...all finished mowing for the week?

Did it get really hot?

A goodly breeze has come up here, and now the sun is thinking about breaking thru. They teased us with a little rain, but none here.

This video takes you onto a parade float as flag-waving Pat Nixon Republican Women cruise through the streets of Anaheim Hills, Calif. The background music is "You're a Grand Old Flag" by the King's Men (1941).

Good evening, fidelis...sounds like a good plan. Hope you are enjoying a good spring.

Bless you, Kathy, same to you. It's already hot here; we've had a couple of 111F days, but nothing us old desert rats can't handle. 😎

The Only Red We Want Is the Red We've Got (In the Old Red, White & Blue--Ralph Flanagan (1950)

It's the right red, not the wrong red.
It's a brave red, not a slave red.
