MDSue Posted May 31, 2014 #2651 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Lots of wonderful pictures the last couple of days. I especially the Memorial Day parades and pictures of the various cemeteries. Sadly the last couple of years our small community had to stop the parades -- financial problems. I agree, lots of wonderful pictures. I wish CC had a "like" feature, so we could acknowledge without re-posting. That is a shame your community had to stop the parades due to financial reasons- seems like it should be a priority :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted June 2, 2014 #2652 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It is a shame that our parades had to be stopped. But many of our small towns are raising our taxes just to keep our police departments -- some communities don't even have a police department any more. We are down to 2 volunteer fire departments with very old equipment. And of course garbage fees go up every year. And unemployment has been on the rise here. We had 3 car dealerships -- all gone -- lost revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky-elpaso Posted June 8, 2014 #2654 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Cute little guy. I'm a bit of a bird watcher and I loved seeing all the different birds on our trip down under. I think one of my first purchases was a book so I could identify what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you posting about watching the birds here on your trip and think of you every time I post a bird photo here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbie berry Dave But it probably will taste like a strawberry - unlike some of the big ones you get at the supermarket which taste sort of like red cardboard. :) I remember my Grandmother telling about picking enough wild strawberries to make jam.

Rare PurpleHays Posted June 14, 2014 #2660 Share Posted June 14, 2014 My mother used to send me and my siblings to pick blackberries. What ever we *didn't* eat went to jam or cobbler. We won't mention all the scratches and mosquito bites we ended up with. . . :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted June 14, 2014 #2666 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Flowers are finally starting to come alive here. The purple striped flowers are my favorite. We have had 6 days of rain in a row -- flowers are drowning instead of growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KandCsailing Posted June 16, 2014 #2673 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Flowers are finally starting to come alive here. Beautiful. I love Purple Mallow, but I don't think I'm going to have any coming back. My Mom has a bit, so I can get some seeds for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
