The wedding was more than I had ever hoped for. And after having a party for four days, my weary self is ready to go back to the mundane. Clean my house-not for a while. Take stuff back to people who helped with food and all. Yes! I hate to close down too quickly something that took a whole year to plan. I want to take my time putting things back in place.

So, we had a heavy frost on the Tuesday after the wedding freezing the tops of the plants in the window boxes even though they were covered. It froze the peppers and the tender leaves on the roses. It turned the climbing hydrangeas to brown. Gosh darn ole Northern Michigan! I planted the tomatoes and zucchini today. FB planted six new rose bushes. We call roses annuals because very few make it through the winter. Anyway, gardening was on the agenda this weekend.

We are also part of a family yard sale. I can't believe how much junk we have accumulated. I just wish a big truck would pull in and take it so it would be done once and for all. As it is, anything that doesn't sell has to be taken to Goodwill or somewhere. I wonder if we could refrain from buying stuff for a year.

The good news is that I have gone to the gym for a year.

I saw my first Swallowtail butterfly. Still no snakes.

OK, is that post ordinary enough?
