Playing catch-up on a lazy Saturday, PART 1

11 years ago

We got a load of rain and wind yesterday so the garden is all soggy. I guess I won't be doing much outside today which will give me a chance to post some photos. I am WAY, way behind in posting! The Lates are blooming or are sending up scapes and I haven't even shown you many of the Mids. I will be playing catch-up for months. These are all from last month.

You have so many great ones here that it's hard to pick favorites, but I think I'll have to go with GRACES OF GANYMEDE although I might change my mind in five minutes since they are all so pretty.

Zeus looks like he is really enjoying his nap. I love the way he has his paws all curled up and he even looks like he is smiling.

Yes, soggy days are no good for gardenwork. But a day off from gardening is good! GRACES OF GANYMEDE sure is a bright one and will be my favorite here. Lots of pretty blooms you had!

And must it be Monaco? All those tennis players! A resounding YES!.... please, pretty please. Oh you need convincing do you? Let me roll up my Canali sleeves and get started. My best friend Carl lives here. Good reason. My 3 life desires are all here. Beach. Sun. Ocean. Warmth. Beach. Ocean. Sun. Big Mountain behind beach, 24 hour bullet proof security. Did I mention Ocean? It is the entire Cote D'Azur's best beach. It's actually a designated Marine Park and YES millions of stunning colored fish actually tickle you and egg you on to play. Even my mask gets overwhelmed! Carrefour- The most stunning Supermarket on the face on the earth. Our whole country is less than 3 square km's! Think of how toned we'll be walking back and forth. And don't worry about Venezia or Umbria, we can do those on weekends in the Alfa along with Verona! And Yes, you can have your Bughatti as the second car. Here is a link that might be useful: Verona

Wish I had some fun or dramatic story about the thumb, but the truth is that I was just reaching towards a cabinet to catch a platter that was falling out and jammed my thumb right into the edge of the cabinet. Hard. Really hard. My acrylic nail popped off and hit me in the forehead with enough force to leave a little red mark! Thumb started to swell and turn colors immediately. There was a LOT of colorful and fairly creative cursing and swearing. I didn't want to admit it was probably cracked but had to give in and get an xray the next day. Fractured it right across the bottom of the joint and had to wear a splint for two weeks, then tape for a couple more weeks. Right hand, of course. I did it the Friday before Christmas so had a little trouble cooking over the Holidays! The worst part was that it's my 'texting thumb' so using the cell phone was tough.

Beautiful flowers all of them. Zeuss sure looks comfy. I've been really behind in my posting on the forum shame on me. It's been a hard weekend for me as I had to put Little Boy to sleep today he had a medical condition called mega colon and after fighting it for eight months the medication stopped working and the only medical options was surgery to remove his colon which would have left him with very little control of his bowels, I just couldn't put him through all of the pain and possible complications. His passing leaves a big empty hole in my heart. He was such a sweet loving little guy who came into my life as a stray I like to think that it was God's way of taking care of such a sweet little soul because he would have died a very slow painful death without treatment, instead he finished out his life being well loved and taken care. So sorry to ramble on so much.

Linda,
Oh my goodness, what a terrible day for you. I am so, so sorry for your heartbreaking loss. I am shocked and sad to hear Little Boy is gone. I have so enjoyed seeing his pictures and the fun we had comparing our two feline 'brothers'...Little Boy and Fat Cat Nemo. It feels like I knew him somehow. As difficult a decision as you had to make, you did the right thing. He is at peace now and there will be no more suffering. What a wonderful life you gave him. We have lost a few of our feline children on this forum lately. Jean lost Ms. Blackie,
then Cindy just lost Whiskey....and now you losing Little Boy. I send you my deepest sympathy because I know how it feels to lose a beloved pet and how it hurts for a long time. I'll be thinking of you. RIP Little Boy. You were a treasure.

So many beauties, enjoy looking at them all. That's a really nice clump shot of Cupid's Cupcake--I guess my favorite would be Graces Of Ganymede. The all time favorite is Zeus, such a lovely boy and that's a wonderful picture of him. He is definitely a contented cat, sleeping so peacefully, and I think he is smiling! Avedon

So many lovelies so late in the season! I'm trying to not look at them too longingly - I just absolutely have no more room for 1 daylily!

Lots of gorgeous blooms. I think my favorites are Sir Modred and Webster's Pink Wonder. Zeus is such a cute sleeper!

People's cats always place number one with me and Zeus is no exception. He obviously is being treated well because his coat looks like velveteen and he's sleeping so contentedly. You are a good momma-lol....As for daylilies, my top three are One Last Dance, Tuscan Sunrise and Old Time Memories although because the others were so pretty it was hard to choose just the top 3. Looking forward to more of your pictures....Maryl
