What's blooming today?
Wordless Wednesday
Wow, even our pets are getting email, and spam these days!
Snowball here couldn’t resist the lure of the computer and as usual went to check his email after dinner. He’s got a free e-mail account at catmail.com. His user name is his name – snowball, so if you’d like to send him an e-mail just send it to snowball@catmail.com. Please don’t send any sexy kitty pics. He’ll only become even more addicted to the computer if you do!

Yesterday I was sitting at my desktop computer, minding my own business as I worked and I felt eyes staring at me. No it wasn’t my elderly neighbor peeking at me from her dining room window this time.
It was my box turtles!
They often watch me as I work on the computer. Well, Spaz, the male box turtle is absolutely in love with Myrtle the female box turtles so he mostly stares at Myrtle. Myrtle on the other hand stares at me.
I’m starting to wonder if they think I’m a turtle too? I mean when I’m working away on the computer I don’t move all that much more than they do. Yes, I get up and make myself a drink every now and then or take a washroom break, but when I’m working I’m often at the computer for hours.
It can’t be all that exciting to watch me work, but I guess I’m the only entertainment my turtles have most of the time.
I love day lilies.
I only wish that their blooms would last for days and that they would rebloom over and over again all season. Yes, some day lilies do rebloom once or twice in a season but not all of them do. This day lily, the Sammy Russel, happens to rebloom at least once per season.
It’s a lovely deep maroon shade. The bloom are quite large and they stand out in the garden beds quite nicely. I can’t wait until the day lilies and all of my other flowers begin to bloom again.
