The Lilly Field

There are at least 12 different kinds of lillies here at the Wyrd Ranch, and each blooms at a different time.  Pretty much one kind right after the other.  These particular ones are trumpet lillies.  We have 5 different kinds of just these.  The rest are Asiatics and Orientals.  Which are different.  Or so they tell me.  And Easter Lillies.  Which probably belong to the above families of lillies.  I really don't remember now.  All of these beauties get together and stink up my area quite wonderously.

I have a few tiger lillies and daylillies as well.  These don't make me as happy as the others.  So I shall be sending them away by the end of the summer.  The look.  Scraggly.

In other earth shaking news:  we had a 4.1 earthquake 300 miles WNW of Barview, Oregon today.

Did you know?

That the Federal Government owns most of Oregon?  (53.1% to be exact)

That the King of Jordan ate a mushroom, swiss cheese burger and onion rings at the Kozy Kitchen in Myrtle Point?  I went through there a month ago and I had THE EXACT SAME THING.  I hope his food was better.  *Ahem*.  He was riding a Harley, btw.  I should send him a  S&M Barbie.

And most importantly, that our Coos County Icon, Crazy Theresa was spotted (bye me) hanging outside of McDonald's last week?
