What's wrong?

My amazing volunteer sunflower

Hot day, warm evening, lovely moonrise on this longest day.
Happy summer!
Read Midsummer night's dream to celebrate.

Low last night was 74 F, and very humid. Makes me glad that I have AC.
Today is going to be very hot and humid. Stay hydrated and in the shade.
It's Republican senatorial primary today in Virginia; working at the polls.
That's the weather from the ancient VA Blue Ridge.

Polls are open

This evening.

This beautiful evening.

Hear you are working on a hard thing. So am I -- there's too much of me.
Would you be my friend in helping to keep me honest? I could use support from another goal-setter.

@Mandypar
Been offline as work has taken over.
Wanted to say hello and share these lovely photos of the Colonist flag as it was Flag Day this week.
Hope all is well.

Tied caution tape flappers on the fence surrounding wildflower seedlings.
Tilled some of the grass on the garden paths.
Watered all the littles.
Stinky sprayed literally every purpose plant in my yard to keep the deer out.
Day is heating up, so now I am going to work in the basement.
Hope you Saturday is going well. Stay cool.

Deck herb flowers and one photo-bombing day lily.

Volunteer sunflower is 7 ft and starting a flower.

Thank you for flying your flag on what would have been my dad's 107th birthday.
Oh, and happy birthday, U.S. Army!

Summer flowers

Buried in so much to do at work and home so I have been offline.
Beautiful evening to share.

Another D-Day commemoration has passed. I attend every year.

National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA, today.

When you're a librarian with primary sources, you research & write about discoveries.
My dad, Richard Hobbs, didn't speak much about his World War II experiences. I hope this article sheds light on them.

Please share, from the #MarshallFoundationLibrary.

Recently, I had the opportunity to record with @motheroftanks about the great loss Gen. George and Katherine Marshall, and their daughter-in-law Madge, suffered a week before D-Day:

I have never seen Saving Private Ryan, on purpose. My dad was on Dog Red on Omaha June 6, and I lived in Bedford, VA many years and know the families of the Bedford Boys.
It's being shown at work Saturday, so I thought it best to watch the beach scene and have the ugly cry in private.
How. the. hell. did. anyone. get. off. that. beach.
