The "It's A Beautiful Day In The Garden" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Rain early morning and then sun the rest of the day.  When you have quite a few days such as that, it means the spring and summer flowers will be open for all to view.  And, it has been just that way around our home in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  My wife, Carol, has filled the flower beds and large flower pots with flowers that make the days come alive with color and happiness.  I have used my iPhone to document the flowers that have come open so far around the house.  Hope you enjoy them today just as I have enjoyed then on a daily basis.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.  PS - Check out our two furry friends who happened upon our rear deck about 2 years ago and have been with us ever since.
