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!!!
