This Easter Lily cactus flower opened this morning during the dark hours. I got this photo of it this morning before it wilted away in the afternoon sun.
Flag Day 2009
We’re spending Flag Day and the birthday of the U.S. Army relaxing at home. In the crock pot is Crazy Yellow Chicken, which I’ll put on the grill later for the finishing touches.
Double Trouble
This is Bear speaking. I guess I got into trouble with my hoomins because I was chewing on my skin so much it was getting raw. They make me wear this double thingy because I was bending the single one and chewing anyhow. I don’t really like these things, but I get more attention since they take them off when I eat, drink or go to the sandbox. Then it goes back on again. Darn!

Japanese Garden Koi Pond
The new Japanese garden feature at the Botanic Garden installed a pond water feature. We were there last year and saw the aquarium guys stocking it with Koi. They were fingerlings then, but now they’re much larger. These lovely and colorful marine critters add to the tranquility of the Asian-themed garden.

A Pink Rose From Mom’s Yard
Mom cut this lovely pink rose stem and gave it to me to bring home. I put it in the bud vase and it opened to display this pink blush. How pretty! Click image to enlarge.
