Sitting on the dock on the bay

 

Quite a spectacular backdrop for our group yesterday and about 15 players showed up. Most people have cute folding wagons to cart all their stuff on these long parking treks.

We often have out-of-town players visit, folks who learn about our group on Facebook. Apparently people travel with their ukes, then check the Internet for local opportunities to play. 

I sat next to a man from Lake Tahoe, here in Seattle visiting family. He was an excellent player and even got up to lead a song. I can't imagine having that much confidence in a group of strangers, even though ukulele players are a friendly bunch.

The first rose bloom is getting started and it's been a perfect weather recipe: early spring rain followed by warm, sunny days. The pink "Brother Cadfael," a David Austin English rose, is our favorite year after year. 

I watch our neighbor across the street endlessly fussing with her roses, spraying and such, but I take a tough love approach. A hard prune in February, slow release fertilizer and they're on their own. Some black spot later in the summer is fine with me. But for now, everything is absolute fresh perfection. Wish there was a way to slow down the clock in June. 

Have a happy and safe weekend.
