My Ride Today

She's green but when I get on the saddle she goes where I want to at any pace I desire! She turns well and stops. She's an easy keeper. Her stamina is excellent and I love her. We go for long rides together.

We went hunting butterflies today but ended up with clovers. A great blue heron flew over when I was looking down and I wasn't quick enough to shoot it. 

I picked a few wildflowers for home indoor pleasure, when we started out on our ride. They are slow recuperating from the trip home.

Bouquet for Me

"Alstroemeria commonly called the Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Alstroemeriaceae. They are all native to South America although some have become naturalized in the United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Madeira and the Canary Islands." From Wikipedia

I have just received a lovely Spring/Easter bouquet from my daughter who lives nearby. I really care not for cut flowers EXCEPT Daffodils and Alstroemeria. The Alstroemeria last almost a month in the water that has been treated with a packet that came with the bouquet.

This year's are exceptionally beautiful and make me feel happy.

These are last year's blooms...

This is one from two years ago!
