Our newest lillies!

So I was very excited earlier this week when the lillies we planted by our tree last year finally bloomed!! The exciment was mostly due to the fact that I could not for the life of me remember what color they were supposed to be or how big they would get!!  

 
They turned out to be more lovely than I imagined! Of course Miss Lilly had to take the opportunity for a photo opp for her fans!! 

  

Too hot to Garden!

The weather here in the northeast has been unusually hot and muggy with temperatures reaching 80 by 10AM. Now while Miss Lilly is sort of ok with basking in the heat her sister does not share her enthusiasm. She spends most of the time inside right beside the air conditioner, outside in the shade or in her pool. While lying in the shade she does get a lovely view of some of our flowers around the house which have been blooming like crazy thanks to all the rain and heat.

Since it is too hot to do anything else she had me take some pictures of a couple of her favorites from around the house.

Now it is back to the pool to cool down and of course get a nice refreshing drink!! Stay cool everyone!!
