 Good Morning Blog Friends,   How are you?   George and I are still moving along even though we move much slower!!!  I had a bad fall on July 3--but even though the wounds are still with me,  I am doing much better now!!!!  My Neuropathy problems keep getting worse --and I keep forgetting (most the time)  to carry my cane with me when I'm in an un-level place in our yard!  Duh!

We are not traveling as much anymore --but we did have a wonderful 3 days at Pisgah Inn along the Blue Ridge Parkway in JUNE to celebrate our anniversary.  

We usually travel on my Birthday (August 5) ---but this year (instead of a trip),  I wanted a new sofa for our Living Room....  We love it!!  SO---Life is GOOD for us!!!  Hope all of you are doing fine!

Today I'll share some of our LILIES which bloomed on the deck this summer.   Hope you enjoy seeing them...  We've had a pretty good year with our flowers:  Daffodils, Irises, Day Lilies,  Lilies and Roses.  We used to have a lot more variety --but the deer (and our old age) has changed our thinking!!! HA!

Pearl Melanie Lilies



Rosella's Dream Lilies 



Golden Splendor Trumpet Lilies 



Frisco Lilies



Muscadet Lilies 



Garden Party Lilies



Stargazer Lilies



Dizzy Lilies

Do you have a favorite out of this group????  Every time a new one would bloom,  it was my favorite.  BUT--Stargazer this year was GORGEOUS.

Catch me up on your life... I miss you all!!!

Hugs,

BETSY
