Yesterday morning I looked out and saw a herd of deer in our backyard. I grabbed my camera and took some photos and a movie.

Something killed a bird and also dug up the corner of my herb garden. We can’t imagine what made such a mess.

Our ornamental pear trees are full of little fruits. The birds and critters really enjoy these. It’s ashame the pears are inedible for humans.

I’m making some progress on my cross stitch. Having other color threads loaded on needles is the way to go.

No reason for this photo, it helps make 5 randoms
I just think it’s a pretty marigold.

Wishing you all a safe and pleasant weekend.

These flowers are ornamental Tiger Lilies and precious heirlooms to me. They came from seeds that my Mom gave me a couple decades ago from her own ornamental lilies. Mom’s ornamental lilies came from seeds given to her by her Mom from her ornamental tiger lilies. As close as I can figure, this line of ornamental tiger lilies has been in my family for probably 90 years or more.
I’m always anxious each year waiting for the bright orange blooms to burst into full color. It makes me smile to see these living beauties of love from my Mom and Grandmother.
