This flower is called the Tigerlily or for the botanists the Lilium philadelphicum. I have always loved this lily along with the various other lilies. I remember seeing Peter Pan as a child and was in awe of the beautiful indian princess named Tigerlily. I have always loved this name. Then Michael Hutchence from INXS named his daughter Tigerlily and it became my all time favorite name.
Six Months logged in today. Back in the day we would be recieving our refferal right about now. But were not living in that day anymore. We are living in the thakesthreeandahalfyears day. Big sigh.It was such a gorgeous day yesterday, so I decided to take some photos around our property yesterday
The beautiful blue sky
The snapdragons
Reed mowing the lawn
Conner pissed because HE had dog pooh duty
The avocados that are future guacamole
The Morning Glory
The pink hydrengeas
The snake. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!? While Reed is mowing I hear the mower stop and a "Moooommmmmm". I go check it out and he has a baby rattlesnake cornered. Luckily Mark got home and he was able to take him out and let him go in the creek behind our house. Now everytime I go out of my house I am on snake alert. He WAS really cute though.
My other dog Bailey was complaining she never gets any blog time so I thought I would throw her photo on here so you can see the beauty of her Bassett-ness.
First, my dog Hank has been acting weird and has been having sneezing fits. At first I thought he might just have a cold or allergies, but a few days later the sneezing seemed to get worse so I took him to our vet today. Poor little guy had 2 foxtails, one up his nose and the other in his ear. He also has tonsilitis. Dogs can get tonsilitis.........who knew? While he was under sedation he had his teeth cleaned and nails clipped.
Here is the little guy recovering from his day. Isn't he pathetic?
Now on to shopping.............
Today I finally bought something for the babe. Other than a book these are the only things I have bought so far. I was shopping today and I stumbled across these T-shirts. I am a sucker for tropical print and this T has pink plumeria flowers on it. So cute AND it was on the sale rack. But the best find was the little brown T that says "Dad's Surfer Girl". Anyone who knows us will know that she will be swiming in the ocean before she can walk.
Soon, Dad, soon.....
My favorite show of the year. I have a bizzare crush on Dwight.
Aveda Shampure
This shampoo is the best shampoo ever. It has a herb-y, slightly spicy, patchuli-ish scent. Not only does it smell great it makes your hair feel fabulous.
Lancome Artliner
Never a fan of the liquid eye liner, until my friend turned me on to this. It goes on like a felt tip marker, but blends like a pencil. I bought it in brown and LOVE it.
Thorlo Everyday Walker Socks
Extra cushion in all the right places and the heel has an extra fluffy strip so NO BLISTERS!
Stella Artois Beer
Belgian beer of happiness. Served ice cold it's heaven in a glass.
There is this meme going around about 7 random facts about myself. I will oblige. Here are my 7:
1. I never watch the television news. I prefer to stick my head in the sand. I am aware of the terrible crap that is going on around me. I know there is a war. I know there are causalties. I know there is massive poverty. I know there is some good and some bad. If I watched the daily news I would be not be able to smile. So I stick my head in the sand. It's better down here.
2. I love, love, love that my sons' favorite band is Led Zeppelin.
3. I DVR a soap opera everyday (I like to call it my "story" like my grandma did). This is a huge secret, SHHHHHH! I have been watching it for about 10 years now. Nobody but my family knows. The best part about it is that my boys know all of the characters and will randomly ask "Hey did Nick find out if he is the father of Carolines baby or is it the illegitimate brother's uncle's gardener?". So don't tell anyone or I could face total embarassment.
4. I HATE peas.
5. I can flick a beer cap over the entire length of my house, from one end to the other.
6. I have a pet turkey named Arnold.
7. I hate to admit it but I like golf. I played 18 this weekend and had a blast. My kind of sport is one that you can drink beer and tan yourself at he same time. WHO knew golf carts could be so much fun??
