Lilies

I received these free with an order years ago. They are care free and lovely.

Sand Tick

I told Larry that I found a sand tick crawling on my arm. He said, "Do you know what that means?"
I said, "Yes. Sunscreen isn't insect repellent. "
I hope I sleep tonight. I slept three hours this morning. If I had a clue when I'd fall asleep, it wouldn't be so bad, but laying in the bed for hours, getting back up for more hours and trying again at 5 am just annoys me.

Read and Reread

I am currently revisiting David Eddings' Belgariad. At one point the good guys were concerned that the bad guys were able to tune in to conversations where certain key words cropped up so the good guys requested the bards constantly sing songs with those words to keep the listeners so busy monitoring that they would give up in overloaded frustration.

Day Lily

I didn't like day lilies for a long time. I guess I'd only noticed ugly ones. But some are beautiful. This is one of my favorites.

Garlic

I've planted garlic before but never harvested any. I don't know exactly how to tell when to harvest them, but when the dirt and roots are off of this, I think it may need to dry out some. I have several more in the garden. Mostly I just wanted to see what it looked like.

Cherries

This is the most cherries we've ever gotten. Part of the good luck is getting there before the birds get all of them. They are sour cherries so they are good for preserves and pies. I don't think it's enough for both this year, but maybe next year.

Leftovers

Today we went to Pebble Isle Marina and I ordered a chef's salad. This is what was left when I finished eating. So I brought it home to have again. I dreamed that I was in Germany last night and was speaking German. So when I asked to take the salad home, it reminded me of the first time I tried to ask that in Germany. I asked for a hund tutte (however that is spelled in German). The waiter had no clue what I wanted, but one of the other Americans told me the right way to say it in German.
