Memorial Day

Cold, cold weekend at the Rancho. Never saw such a raw, rainy, windy summer day out there as Saturday was. No rain on Sunday, but still beyond chilly to actual cold. Today, finally, sun. In fact, hardly a cloud. Still cool, but not unpleasant. Memorial Day parade and wreath-laying — one at each war memorial, plus one tossed in the water for those lost at sea — followed by coffee and doughnuts at the firehouse.
