Happy Memorial Day, Everyone! — Memorial Day 2013

Happy Memorial Day, Everyone!

It’s Memorial Day, the Holiday of Flowers. I woke this morning early to take this picture of sunrise over the garden and yard I’ve been working on all weekend. It’s been raining and cold out here on Long Island, but the air is fresh and wonderful, like a billion ions all super-charged for new growth. The greens are greener than I’ve ever seen them, the moisture is needed and the summer is assuredly in our future. What’s it like where you are??
From all of us here at The Kitchn and Apartment Therapy, we wish you all a happy Memorial Day.  We now have one more day to rest up, recreate, remember and clean up the house. Below is our annual origin story of Memorial Day.  Enjoy.
