Millions of Americans celebrate today. Here life continues in the vein established by Covid precautions. Now that I’ve used the word no doubt an unsolicited advert will appear to enable ease of research on the subject. Apologies. I have no control!

There was blue sky, whispy clouds ..

… and sun!

Just time to pick the first raspberry …

The summer foliage softens the hard edges of the path.

10 down! 80+ to go. I’ll be writing about it on my CROCHET BLOG at some point in the near future.
