Memorial Day - The Official Start of Summer
And other important things like white shoes, sun tea, and cool-aid.
Collecting pollen is important.
Better get busy like the bee!

Memorial Day - The Official Start of Summer
Toni, love the Title of your blog. It is ironic that my Wife and I were just discussing that this was the "official day" of Summer. Of course, I had to put in my two cents worth and tell her that it really is NOT the official day... then after a stern look... I agreed with her!!
Laughing out LOUD at Dan's comment above! You're right! He is a very wise man! LOL-LOL-LOL!
Toni- great photo. The seasons start to blur to me since it's almost like summer here 12 months out of the year. Hope you have a great Memorial Day.
Toni, that is a nice photo. Fortunately, the pollen is not bad here. Happy Memorial Day to you.
My allergies know it's springtime/summertime...Enjoy a fun-filled Summer!
Toni, to me Memorial Day is all about remembering the Fallen heroes who allow us to enjoy the upcoming Summer:)
Joni - loved your comment.
Kathy - yes, but up our way we have a tiny bit of winter each year. Not enough so you would notice :)
Lisa - I hope you're enjoying yours too. Thanks.
Larry & Sheila - my allergies know it too since February. We've had a crazy allergy season--can't wait for the rains to start.
Howdy and afternoon Toni
Toni my friend, that sure is a mighty fine photo shot of that Bee working on the flowers!
Have a good one

Toni,
I was wondering if white pants and white shoes are now OK with the fashion conscious, and then I read your post. Even though Summer officially starts on the Solstice, I agree with you...who cares about what is official. A
Toni~ Goodness knows I need to get busy. Spent some time recharging the batteries this weekend...and working on getting ready for a our yard sale in 3 weeks. Hope to hit the ground running (after lunch) tomorrow.
Even that little bee thinks it time to molest the flowers:-) Sacramento actually had a little rain today. Temperatures were a little too nippy to feel like summer. But, those days are forecast to be coming soon!
Hi Toni. We are having a cool, wet spring. When my yard finally dried out enough to cut yesterday, I had to chase the bees out of the clover patch my side yard had become! I felt bad about it but the neighbors were getting ready to sign a petition ..
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
Dale - thank you.
Alexandra - I'm not sure anyone pays any attention to the old rules. :)
Donna - you are supposed to take it easy on Memorial Day weekend, so don't worry.
Bob - thank you!
Myrl - thank you for the feature in the Photos group. Summer is just around the corner.
Dianne - I've been watching the weather in your area. Very wet! I understand about the bees; they can get to be overwhelming.
William - yes, it was when I was growing up even though officially according to the weather folks it doesn't start till June 20 or 21. Thank you!
Hi Toni,
Great picture of the bee and the flowers. I grew up not being allowed to wear white shoes from Labor Day until Memorial Day. I still rarely wear bright white shoes
Kristin - I rarely wear white shoes either. I prefer beige or tan for summer.
