All kidding aside, rain predicted here all week (had a vicious storm last night, with tornado touch downs less than 200k away.) Am waiting for what tonight brings.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-84333891110201392282013-05-22T21:07:31.304-04:002013-05-22T21:07:31.304-04:00Glad to hear you're blooming out there as well...Glad to hear you're blooming out there as well. <br />I may have gone loonie ... but I'm getting quite attached to Momma L.

That fellow's wing badge almost looked entirely yellow, but the photo of his take off made it a blur of red.

Sure wish I could smell the lilacs from here.<br /><br />We have them down here but they are a poor relation of those we grew up with in the Okanagan where the plants were taller than houses and lush with blooms. They are spindly here. We have a small one in our yard and it has already bloomed and is spent, sigh.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-75372543361873158452013-05-20T23:07:50.093-04:002013-05-20T23:07:50.093-04:00Karen:
