I just love the colors in this fish that is abundant in the fresh water Michigan lakes.

Vacationing at Hubbard Lake, Michigan as a young girl, we would always go fishing after dinner and come in at dusk with strings of perch. My uncle would clean them and store them in the freezer.  Once we had enough to feed the family, my mother would dredged them in pancake flour and fry them up in a cast iron skillet. We would sit on the screened in porch on warm summer evenings and enjoy the best fish dinner in the world!

At my Mother's urging, I took a photograph of all the flowers that were blooming in the morning in the front of my home on May 14.  By that evening, we had the worst hail storm you can imagine with an assortment of sizes ranging from marble-sized to the largest being the size of two walnuts held together.  Lots of damage to my home and none of the flowers remained.  I've decided to do some small works to remember them all.  Memorial #1
