Our hearts have been heavy this week with the crossing of Mr. Silky over the Rainbow Bridge.  He was definitely a legend in his time.  We are missing him terribly.

While not a quality picture, you can see how much I resemble my dad when he was THE studmaster at Shady Nook. 🙂  Meanwhile, lots of garden stuff going on too.

Finally found the perfect spot for the garden stone Larry Lauber made us.  Isn’t it fantastic?  Lantanas are thriving in this hot weather; it is supposed to hit the 100s Fahrenheit this coming week.

For us, it is a holiday weekend: 4th of July, marking the birth of American Independence.  Although we are no longer part of the British Empire, Mom loves everything about it.  She is a true Anglophile…just take a look at her Pinterest boards.  It is a lovely holiday though if you don’t count the firecrackers.
