Janet Frances (Mulligan) Cushing, of the Massachusetts Mulligans, is celebrating her birthday on the coast in Northern California, where she and her husband Larry live. Hopefully, the weather will be sunny and mild, and the smoke from the brush fires will have cleared.

Back in the middle of June we posted an idyllic picture of the entrance to Janet’s garden (seen here for reference).

We have our fingers crossed that the smoke and ash didn’t damage the vegetation and all Janet’s hard work.

Here is photo of the lovely couple:

Happy Birthday, Janet! May the smoke dissipate and your flowers pollinate.
