Disturbing Events

Our neighbourhood is not peaceful today. There was a shooting at a house very near to ours, in fact just across the street and one house over. It happened at 11:30 and although my son and family heard the shots DH and I are in the back of the house and heard nothing.  The family that lives in the targeted house had a grown son and daughter and it was the son that was shot and killed and a cousin, also a young man, was also shot and is in hospital in critical condition.  I suppose in the next days and weeks we'll find out what the motivation was, meanwhile my heart is sad for this family whose only son is now dead.

Meanwhile life goes on. It's a lovely summer day and later we're going over to youngest son's place.
He and his brother worked hard yesterday to clean the gutters then dig out the plants I wanted gone. As soon as the weather cools again I'll divide my Astilbes and put in a nice row where the Hostas were.
 Did I mention that we were given a large box of peaches? They're almost all ripe and we cut up and froze 8 freezer bags. Have given some away and will probably give more. We have enough for our own use now. 

Thanks for visiting today,
