Sunday, May 24, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries
May 24, 1964
Sunday, beautiful day, hot, 80's. Girls and I went to church and Sunday School. We drove LaVerne's truck over to Earl's in pm and to the lake and got a beautiful bouquet of pinksters. Girls and I went to church at night. Mr and Mrs. Hershey there from Grand Gorge. Rain in the night, cooler. LaVerne and Roberta up at night.
Comment: Our family called the pink and white flowers "pinksters" and they grew wild through out the mountains around Hubbard Hill. They really are Pinxterbloom Azaleas and are found in the lower Appalachians from Massachusetts to Georgia. We use to take many drives in mid spring to see and pick them along the fire roads through the hills....
You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"

From Marilyn:
Guess I never knew Pinksters were from the Azalea family. But it makes perfect since. Beautiful picture."M"
