Lodi, Wisconsin is the best place to be in May!!! May is birthday month at our house - 3 out of 4 of us celebrate another year! Our tradition each year is to take the kiddos outdoors for an annual birthday photo shoot. This year L turns 4, R turns 1, and J, well, he'll be thirty-something! Today we learned why there are so many daffodils in our little town. They are a living Memorial for Lyle "Doc" Bohlman. http://video.wpt2.org/video/1451207501 He was a dentist in Lodi who had thousands (literally!) of daffodils planted in his front yard. When he passed away in 2007, his family received $3500 in sympathy cards. The family purchased the daffodils from Washington and volunteers helped to plant them at the local schools and around the welcome to Lodi signs. It is a recognition of the past and a rebirth for the future. What a great memorial and a wonderful celebration of life!!!
