Another rose from the State Center Rose Garden. I missed the sweet spot for this rose garden this year.

Yellow Rose from the State Center Rose Garden Jesse didn’t seem to know that this little gem existed. It may have been the highlight of his day.
I loved this sign and circled back several miles just to make a half effort to photograph it out my car window. Perhaps the last picture I post from my trip to Kansas.
The inside of this awesome castle type thing that Nate and I found on Vine Street. We really should have went inside of it and explored it but Nate was worried about being stabbed by homeless man, but we will return here some day.
Another look at giant shuttlecocks. Although I did enjoy some of the sculptures in Kansas City, the best sculpture garden I’ve ever seen is still in Des Moines. Go Cyclone State!
I think Nate actually did like this sculpture. … and really, what isn’t to like?
Sculpture from a Kansas City sculpture garden. This sculpture was one of my “must sees” when I went down to Lawrence to visit Nate. He was excited to stand outside in 97 degree heat looking at giant shuttlecocks.
Pink lily after some rain. It seems all the lilies that aren’t in my lily patch are doing well. The lilies in my lily patch? Now why did you bring those up?

Shawn protecting his progeny during a brief bit of precipitation during Ogden Fun Days. Further proof that he is bona fide. It is a good thing for a man to be… bona fide.

Ogden Fun Days Parade Fun While it was fun riding in the Ogden Fun Days Parade, I do feel our lack of candy was a failure.
Typical Saturday. Just hanging with Cy. (Photo by Sara Lockner) Normally when I hang with Cy there are several thousands more people there than this.
The raspberries are coming along nicely. Full disclosure, the ones that I have are coming along nicely. However, they didn’t take to my pruning as well as I had hoped and there won’t be many raspberries this year. I know. I’m as heartbroken about it as you are.
Who doesn’t love lilies? This lily also resides in my house in the northeast corner of my backyard. Its best friend is the moonflower. Well, it survives the moonflower.
Who doesn’t love daisies? I definitely love daisies. I have a patch in the backyard and a couple daisies in the front by my lamp post.
A volunteer lily in the back corner of my yard. Usually I’m not a fan of orange lilies I’ve made an exception for this lily.
Sarah and Shawn’s Tiramisu Cheesecake created for the 1st Annual Methodist Men Pie/Cheesecake Auction When Eldon brought the idea of a pie auction up to me as a possible fundraiser to help pay for our broken down organ I was a little bit leery. As President of the Methodist Men,… Read More »Photo of the Day 0051
