Fourth of July Long weekend

I decided to use pictures to capture my long Fourth of July weekend. Sorry the pictures are in no particular order because I'm tired and I still need to get groceries before I go home for the day (sigh).


Of course, I went for a walk and the "orange army" followed me. Funny story the other day the "kids" got distracted and didn't follow me home. They usually make their way back but not this time. I went for a walk the following evening and half way back I heard the boy talkign to me from the field so he followed me back to the driveway. Then we heard the girl but couldn't find her for awhile. She was back up by the stoplight between the dirt and chipped road. She wouldn't head back my way until I walked back up to her, she greeted her brother, and then she would follow me back home. Have I mentioned lately that cats are weird?


On Friday, one of my neighbors was shooting off fireworks so I admired them from my yard (sorry the picture is so dark). I think next year I will try to go to a fireworks display and watch fireworks.



I photographed the first tiger lily to bloom; now I think there are 4 or 5 different ones blooming. They are slow to start but then they stick around for awhile.


I took some pictures of the blooming day-lilies. I think this is one that did not bloom last year. There are a couple blooming this year which I don't think bloomed last year; I could be wrong but I don't think so.



Pandora being cute and well behaved in an attempt to get me to pick her up and pet her. So I took a picture and then petted her. (Please don't look at my bad toe-nail polish, I haven't had time to repaint my nails; hopefully this weekend)


Tzani wanted to go outside and sit on the porch. She hadn't been in physical contact with the outdoor cats since January so she had to re-introduce herself. They get along with her and she with them. I was sort of hoping the neighbors black and white cat would come along so Tzani could let him know how irritated she is with him attacking and chasing our boy kitty. She will sit in the window and if he does this she will start talking to me about it and hissing at him at the same time. Apparently, she thinks the orange kitty's are hers so they should be left alone.

Tiger Lilies and what's this flower (again)

Please note that I have given up on posting on the day that I actually intend to post so now I play catch up so it looks like I have lots of posts but really I set up several blogs and then fill them in all at once :)

I would feel "bad" about this but I know everyone understands that I'm a busy, busy, graduate student!

So, I have more flowers for everyone to look at and enjoy. I can identify most of these but there is one that I'm not quite sure about. So let's begin!!


When I first saw this I had to ask what are those pepper looking things growing out there. Anne had no idea what I was talking about until I gave her a description. So what are those pepper looking things?

You guessed it Tiger Lilies. These are one of my favorite flowers and Anne has a couple of different varieties (I think) and I'm hoping to convince her to let me have a few for my own yard (someday in a yard, very, very far away; perhaps in time only but likely to be distance as well).

Here is a double bloom Tiger Lily. I had no idea what a double bloom was or that it existed until I moved out to this flower-ful yard!!


I think this is another Tiger Lily but of a different color!


Tiger Lily or Day Lily ??? I'm really not sure. However, I looked up tiger lily and I found a picture similar to this one so I'm going to say that it's a tiger lily. I'm sure Anne will correct me if necessary.



What the heck is this??? I know Anne told me but my memory banks are full of don't weed there but do weed there. This is a (please insert flower name here). I'm trying to stuff my brain full of flower information and I'm afraid my poor brain my explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Having considered what Anne had told me about whats in the yard, I think this is Purple Phlox
and the images do seem to be similar so maybe the flower knowledge is slowly sinking in between the insect information.
