Blueberries! My dad planted blueberries and blackberry bushes out back near the woods line. Mom would make fresh homemade pies from scratch every summer! |
While I'm a big fan of fruit all year round, honeydew and cantaloupe are good summer fruits. I know those are melons, but they still count. |
Found this cool little poem while I was out and about and reviewing....

Just wanted to share a item I recently reviewed and gave an Awardicon to:
It was about a Flag Retirement Ceremony conducted by a Boy Scout Troop. It really touched me. #1 When I served in the US Army, I would often lead the raising of the flag and the lowering of the flag on US Army installations overseas in Germany, and nothing stirs the soul like raising (Reveille) or lowing the flag (To the Color) when wearing your uniform. #2 In 2013, I committed to serving as an Assistant Den Leader for my young son's Pack. (I'm a Boy Mom). That turned into Den Leader, Cubmaster, and eventually Assistant ScoutMaster for his Troop. I've lead many a flag retirement ceremonies for not only Pack 40 but Troop 2. I thought I'd share a couple of "recent" photos of BSA Flag Retirements. And tomorrow is Flag Day. Very fitting. -- Thank you to the "Stars & Stripes" for your service. From 2021: ![]() ![]() From 2022: ![]() ![]() Here is a great YouTube Video that gives a little a history about "To The Color." I just might have to do a Blog Post on my experiences. |

StephBee ![]() Thankfully someone knew the words to taps, stepped forward and in a cadenced presentation recited them - Day is done.... Gone the sun... from the lake, from the hills, from the sky.... All is well, safely rest... God is nigh... They stepped back, and the honor guard on command fired the volleys. Powerful. (I learned the words in case that were ever to happen again.) And it might, the old veterans know there can always be a snafu! |
If anyone wants to give some of my recent poems a review, you'd make my day!
