2020 February 27 - The Garden Five Years Ago

Running very late, today, Dora - but the good news is that I got in to the lab for my routine blood test, and to the implant dentist for an X-ray that says I'm good to cap that metal stud in my head. Again, nothing really new in Vancouver pictures. But I found a directory from my old, old camera, the one before I got a smartphone. Here's a few pictures from the summer of 2015 - your garden!

And of course, your prized roses were perfect that year. Like most years!
