Summer slipped away, Fall Fun & Frolic about to Begin!

Huge Happenings Here

at Hanami Headquarters in

Historic Wooster Square!


In the Fall, activity around 
Wooster Square picks up significantly.

Schools are in Session, vacations 
are in the scrapbook and we
gasp as we realize it's almost
the end of the year!

What the H-E double hockey sticks
happened to the summer?



I'll give the the twitter review of
the 2018 Summer here in Southern New England.

"Wow, it's hot! Holy Crap it's Stormy!
Man the boats! Biblical flooding!
HOT HOT HOT! WATER WATER WET"

Fortunately for me, all I could
do is all summer was sit in air conditioning.
(sarcasmly said)
You see, on Father's Day, (June 17)
a tendon snapped in my foot.

Apparently, one needs this tendon to 
walk, stand and the like. So, surgery at the
end of July and I'm still hobbling.

Not to worry Fellow Flower Following Fans!

I've been able to get out on a few occasions,
I still can't wear a shoe, so it's a little limiting...

BREAKING!!! BREAKING!!! BREAKING!!!
