    What a beautiful week-end.  Tuned up my bike and gardened.  These vinca were transplanted from my parents’ home in Michigan to Virginia and they are thriving.

    What a beautiful day to walk to City Center (see photo) and have a treat of  Dolcezza gelato and sorbetto -- absolutely no food waste at this meal!

    So wonderful to get out in the garden last night, enjoy a little weeding, trimming, and picking up sticks, and being surrounded by beautiful blooming flowers, bushes and trees.  I tried to post a photo -- hope it came through.
