92 lilies bloomed today! The garden looks spectacular! Today would have been the perfect day for viewing even though it's much earlier than usual. No gardening today, just lots of mowing, even the new grass. The weather next week looks dreadful! We are now targeting Thursday for the garden party. It's the only sunny day forecasted.
Steve spent the afternoon as the honor guard for Bob and his family. Hundreds came to pay their respects, including many other firemen. They are his peers, guys 60 to 75, who have given forty years and more of service to the community. They are noble, honest men. I listened to them reminisce and several commented, "There aren't many of us old timers left." It was distressing, though, to see how badly out of shape they are. A lifetime of hard work and now inactivity and too many calories have led to dangerous health conditions. It confirms the importance of our good habits. I will continue to cook nutritious meals and push long walks, travel and check-ups!
