May and June are the wettest months and our attempts to continue landscaping were interrupted by frequent rain storms. We did take a break during one dry spell to see the Memorial Day parade. General "Stormin" Norman Schwarzkopf was supposed to be the Grand Marshal, but he got stranded in Denver. The Army sent a band with no drums ☹. But the main reason to go was to wave to passing friends and neighbors who have served in the military.
