Massachusetts Again
Visiting my parents this December here in Massachusetts. I have enjoyed seeing the New England style homes decorated for the Christmas season. I will do a post of local photos before I head home to the south.

A Product Recomendation~Chicken Poop Lip Balm
I found "Chicken Poop" lip balm at Tractor Supply. Read the ingredients (Avocado oil, jojoba, sweet orange, lavender essential oil, bees wax, and Vitamin E.) and purchased a couple of tubes. You couldn't have a better group of ingredients for your lip care. I really love it! Just wanted to spread the word.

Back Home & The Hurricane
Just been back in Louisiana for 3 weeks and here we have a hurricane. Issac is bringing rain, wind and is on a very slow stroll over our homeland. I am grateful that we have made preparations and have not yet lost electricity! But there is more of Issac to come today and maybe tomorrow.

Fertile Central Washington
I'm back in Washington State for a visit this summer. I am so impressed with the vast agriculture in the central state, Tri-Cities area! The climate is so like productive area of central California, it's no wonder this area has the same results with crops! And wine production!

Arts and Craft Fair in Richland Washington
Lovely day for an Art fair! The Columbia river bank was alive with art patrons and no one seemed to mind the heat! I enjoyed the variety of exibits and beautiful grounds of the park site! My purchases were local Lavender sachet and soaps! I purchased two colorful prints by a local artist, Consuelo Soto Murphey, who is pictured below!

A very interesting tree!

Day Lily Suprise~A Happy Accident
Most plant nurseries give some kind of warranty, I have never wanted to take any plants back, and sometimes they do die off way too soon, I just don't want to bother going through all the trouble to replace them. Two years ago I purchased a DayLily bulb and planted it. The plant never put up flower stalks until this year. The plant that showed up is not the bulb represented on the package label I purchased. What to do? I am writing a letter to the source nursery, to inform them and hopefully they will send me the one I thought I bought. I am not at all displeased by this lovely lily, though, it is called Bonanza, I think. It's colors are a perfect fit into the orange and golden scheme in our front flower bed! Truely, a happy accident!
