July 20, 2017. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Lunch at friends.

Mary and Clif invited all 6 of us for lunch at their home.  Dave and Irene leave on Sunday and Pat and Mal on Tuesday so this was a goodbye to the four.   Lunch is the best meal for us for about ten different reasons.  Mary said it is easier for her too so we were all happy.

Mary's yard is magnificent.   Flowers are everywhere.  And they are all wildflowers.   She started with nothing.  Just weeds and grasses and rocks.  Bit by bit she transplanted wildflowers from beside the road.  And friends donated shrubs and other flowers.  She has no grass around the house.  Just masses of flowers.   She moved the stones to make paths.  Now she thinks she might begin transplanting to make more space.  But not until next year.  Right now her yard is at it's peak.  I was delighted to see it again.

Of course, the lunch was delicious, all made by Mary.  All in all, we enjoyed the good food and the good company.  Good friends all.
