This is a California Lily I think. This year they came and went very fast - the outside ones died before the inside ones blossomed. Some years they have lasted for weeks.

Turtles are fun to watch

I think it's fun to see turtles sunning themselves

hair

Well, I finally had to do it. I got my hair cut short, first time in about 27 years. I could no longer brush it and the tangles were becoming a real problem. My wonderful husband would brush it when he was home, but since he has to go to work at 4 in the morning, most days he could not brush it for me. I am getting use to it, it is cute (but not really me). I must keep telling myself it's just hair and when I get well again I can let it grow to my waist again, maybe? My iris's are beautiful this year and I hope to figure out how to put up a picture like so many of you do, we'll see.

Thanks

Oh, I forgot to thank Andi for fixing the complicated way I was getting into my blog. Thanks Andi.

quiet time

Well all the kids have gone home so the house went to instant quiet, which was fine for a few minutes, I miss them already. I finally got a chance to make the white christmas pie that is in the story "White Christmas Pie". It was a lot of work to make but it tastes real good, but you must love coconut. I still have not figured out how the Amish (who don't use electricy) can whip whipping cream and egg white fast enough to make them stiff and peak. They must have very strong wrists!
