Weekend Scenes in a Small Town

My younger son had his 15th birthday this past Friday. After our usual celebration with cake and ice cream and gifts, here he is smiling with his girlfriend.

I walked past this garage on a walk downtown yesterday. A simple wreath above the door and a chair next to it holding flowers was all it took to catch my eye.

The chair and flowers up close.

Large planters full of flowers are around our downtown courthouse square. A squirrel has eaten off many of the daisies that I had growing in my flower bed at home---left me with a sea of green stems sticking up with the flower heads eaten off---the little rascal! Luckily, I can still enjoy these that are growing in the containers on the square.

These small pink flowers are growing on a bush in my neighbor's yard.

Peach colored iris and some pinkish purple flowers growing low to the ground made me smile in the park tonight.

I think this is some variety of a peony, but I am not sure. The flowers on this plant were huge.

These small white flowers were growing in great clusters all over a tree in the park.

I go by this sign whenever I take a walk through the park. I keep thinking maybe I will meet up with Andy and Opie heading off to the fishing hole, smell an apple pie being baked by Aunt Bea, or maybe hear Barney and Gomer sharing a corny joke,
but I haven't yet.
