Lincoln Party and Roses.

5-30-15 SHORT HILLS: Hot and muggy it is, as Yoda would say. We’re looking for some of that rain soaking the rest of the country, we actually had 0.4 inches, but need much more.

The Lincoln School second grade and Ms. Catalano, the teacher, gave a party for the volunteers from Creature Comfort who bring their therapy dogs to the classroom to help the students learn to read. I tagged along as a photographer for the gala and as Judy's aide. There were hot dogs, appropriate for the canine guests, with the works, and a gorgeous sheet cake. Books were read, food was eaten, pix were taken, cake was cut, dogs were patted, the furry ones.

Big news. I am not on crutches anymore and have gone into the bushes pruning and trimming and snipping, only three months late.

New blooms: roses, peony flower, mock orange, privet.


Red rose. So perfect you could cry.

White rose.

Pink rose.

Peony, the flower, a couple of days after the tree peony.

The Gala at Lincoln, complete with rabbit ears.
