Lantana In July

No story, just the bloom of a lantana. Perennial in zone 7. I love the herby smell, although it’s putrid to some. Happy July. 

 

Gladiolus

The gladiolus is native to Sub-Saharan Africa, South Africa and Eurasia.  But mine were native to Lowes in the bulb
section.
Their stems are normally unbranched and produce 1 to 9 sword shaped leaves. The large-flowered types require moisture during the growing season, and must be individually staked as soon as the sword-shaped flower heads appear.
I bought the bulbs last year and without realizing they needed to be staked had a lot falling over.

This year they grew even larger and they are gourgeous! As long as the have a stake, light and water they are easy to grow.

I’m usually posting about oil recipes, but today starter kits from Young Living are 10% off!! I got a second one! T
his company has been in the business 20+ years, they own or partner in the farms, and control the growing, harvesting, distillation and bottling. I wouldn’t trust any other brand- you never know what you are getting. Plus, the support and information that comes with signing up with a lemon-dropper (me) is AWESOME!!!! Follow my link in the menu for essential oils.

Cat On A Hot Porch Floor

I don’t get it. My cats (both long hair) love to sit on the porch and sleep when its 90 degrees out. It’s like they go into hibernation mode. They also look drunk. Lol

Hahaha This Cat Is Awesome

Hey, had to share this. Mau is a trip and constantly provides hours of entertainment in our house. Note: she does this in the tub without the toy. 😂

Gary and I

I met Gary in a town called Ocracoke about 2 months ago. I was walking and window shopping around 4:30 in the afternoon and that’s when I stumbled on an interesting general store. Out in front of the entrance is where our eyes met. He gazed at me longingly as if his eyes were saying “take me home, I’m on sale.” I couldn’t break the hold he had on me, yet he was not in my price range for that trip.

Sadly, I left the store and felt this emptiness come over me like a dark heavy cloak.  I kept walking and shopping and when we had walked the circuit of shops, we came back on the general store. I had this sense that if I could only send someone in to haggle for me, I could have him. Of course, the person I was with was being a turd and it took almost a half an hour to talk him into doing my bidding. But, we walked in and it happened! The manager accepted my offer, I went running out the front door, scooped him up and our hearts met again! I carried him all the way back to the house and placed him in his very own spot in the yard. The next day we traveled back home and from there, the rest is history.

Oh Gary. You are so special to me.
