Lilies and Other Stuff



Ah, my lilies are putting on quite a show this week! I've got 2 more varieties that should be opening up in a few days. I'll post those because one of them is a favourite. So, this week I've been doing some gardening and enjoying this gorgeous summer!

On the healthy living front things are going well too. Thanks to Running Nan for helping me figure out a better way to measure the distance of my runs. I learned yesterday that my new run is 5 miles plus! No wonder I was so sore!!! I met a goal and didn't even know it. I hope you are enjoying summer's bounty. Eat up those blueberries!

oooh, pretty. I love lilies, they're my favorite flower.

I particularly love the big orange ones that tend to grow wild around here. They were in my wedding bouquet.

Rock on! I'm so glad to hear that you hit a goal and didn't even know it. I'll have to make that a new goal! lol

Congrats on the awesome run!

That top lily took my breath away! What variety is it? All of them are just gorgeous.

You ran five miles and didn’t know it? Wow - doesn’t that say something about how we can limit ourselves if we're not careful? I don’t mean to imply at all that you've been doing that – far form it. But I can see how it happens to all of us, me included. If we can push past those self-limiters, there's no stopping us!

Good for you, sweetie. You're amazing!

Hi Manuela:-)

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving me a comment...I so enjoy meeting new people!!

Oh your lilies are just gorgeous, love all the colours! My Asiatic Lilies are now blooming and I've taken pictures of them today so that I can post them next week.

I'm quite impressed that you can run 5 miles, that's such an accomplishment!! I need to start making goals for myself as well:-)

You'll have to come up north, our wild blueberries are now ready! lol I've started seeing quite a few cars parked along the highway...people gone to pick them in the bushes.

Hope you come by again:-) xox
