FOTD – September 25 – Lilies, Lilacs and Lantana
“THREE WINDS,” she cried. He frowned, but picked more tiles from the wall. Lilies of Tiger and Easter sounds like a mah jongg move, doesn’t it? On the other hand, there’s also Lantana and Lilac. Lilac is my favorite both for its scent and it’s beauty. Lantana is considered invasive, but it’s too cold for it to invade up here, so it’s a “potted” flower — beautiful in the summer, gone in winter.

Thank you 😀 I sometimes forget I actually drew almost all the flowers we grow here, so sometimes I see them and I think “Gee, I should include some of these…” and then I forget to do it.

O My! Gorgeous.
Fall is upon us here and the garden is starting show the inevitable change.
It’s been such a incredible Summer though. Just seemed to bright and sunny all the time.
It was definitely hotter than normal though, and I never quite seemed to adjust to that,
but better than the alternative.

It was very hot and very dry here. It was too hot for me, dangerously dry, and too hot for our A/C units, minimal as they are. But right now, the weather is perfect. This is the best weather we get all year and I’m loving it.

Thanks Sadja. These are the flowers we get every summer and we get lots of them … so I have lots of pictures of them. They are a real favorite flower — and maybe a favorite state flower too.

I have plans. I’ve just been battling with medications for a while and I just haven’t felt very well most of the time. I think MAYBE I’m beginning to feel better, so I hope to be able to focus soon.

I see the doctor tomorrow, but I am feeling better and it has been a VERY long siege.

Trying to find the right — and in our case, affordable — medications is always tricky. Because I have a bunch of conditions at the same time, making sure each medication doesn’t interfere with others makes it twice as difficult. I think maybe I’ve crossed over the worst of it. Now I need to figure out how to proceed.
