81º here in Clarinda, IA at 5:32 pm Sunday afternoon and has been a very windy day. I rode the recumbent trike 5.3 miles this morning and even with the bright sunshine and warm temperature it was comfortable with the strong south wind.
Today is June 6th and it is 77 years since D Day in World War II. It is also the 114th year since my mom, Pearl Miles, was born; and, 87 years since she and Kermit Miles, my dad, were married in Kearney, NE. Time goes on.
Saturday was "Cruzzin' Clarinda" day and three sides of the square uptown were cordoned off as well as one side street to the east. It was the biggest turnout of classic, vintage cars, pickups and tractors that the event had ever had.
We walked around and looked at all vehicles and visited with several people. There was a parade at 6 pm, but we did not return for it. Being a very hot day, it just seemed easier not to attend.
While riding this morning, took several photos of the construction area east of the hospital where they are building a new therapy building.
Hedge across the north side of our back yard is really blooming --- and hundreds of bumble bees are on it all the time.

Only one bloom on the
peony bush not moved
from the front yard. |

A few blossoms on the
trellis behind the garage. |
Big old racoon has been around our backyard and the neighbors to the west. Set a trap out with marshmallows--which we heard were a successful bait.

At right are some figures from the D-Day Invasion........................
A cop breaks up a fight by two invisible men. As the crowd gathers, he shouts, "Move along, folks. There's nothing to see here!"

So Moses is up on Mount Sinai and he says to God, "God, do I ever have a pounding headache!" And God says, "Here, take these two tablets."
