Fathers Day

This morning, Vera asked what I wanted to do for Fathers Day.  I said I would like to take it easy and maybe go out for dinner tonight.  After stretching and icing the Achilles, I did some unloading from the motor home.  I kept looking at the stand Vera had gotten, it was looking kind of bare without any flowers.  I asked Vera if she wanted to make a run to Longview for plants, after grabbing the camera in case we saw a photo op for my blog, we headed out.  Our first stop was at Harbor Freight for some stainless steel trays to plant the flowers in.  Then we hit Jo Anne's for some fabric for a project Vera is working on.  Since I wanted to go home via the Delameter Road, we went to Lowe's for the plants.  Our first photo op was just as we started up the Coal Creek Rd. there were some ducks in the old treatment ponds.  There was a duck with two young ones and the young ones were diving, one was under water when I took the picture.

We had only gone about a hundred yards when Vera spotted this heron, so we turned around and came back for a picture.

This view was the reason I wanted to come back on the Delameter Road.  There is only one spot now where you can see it.  There used to be several places, but the trees have grown up in the others.

This is Vera's plant stand after we got everything planted and placed on it.  I did some more unloading of the motor home and then started putting my favorite planes back into it.  We went down to the 49er later for dinner.

While I was editing pictures for the blog, Vera went out and took some of our roses, it smells so good out there!
