Visit the new website page for Tiger Lily. These are true lilies and they are downward facing. They have their own Division 4 category! That makes them special.
Here is the YouTube video for you to enjoy. It’s such an odd flower! I just want to know why oblong dots are like tiger stripes? They are not the same shape! Ah!
I made this in Adobe Spark. It is my first AI image. I have in my head been against using AI. I do not like the idea of being spafooned by other’s AI images when thinking it is some image they actually took. Why would I want to waste my time praising others for something they did not actually create? This would have taken me a long time to create in Photoshop, but yet it took seconds for the AI to generate. I can see AI also effecting digital scrapbooking sales in the future too. Why pay someone to put together this when it can be done made-to-order? Except the kits are all made to match each other and they do carry the designers creativity and style, so I will keep buying them. It is just thoughts rolling around in my head. The world is always changing. (P.S. I have no idea where the word “spafooned” came from in my head, but apparently it is slang for hanging a spork from you nose and looking stupid.)
We are STILL working on the drainage pipes and my life still seems a big mess. We are in the home stretch of the pipes, though, but the City is about to come dig up my yard for a new water main! Ack! Stuff from my truck that is in the shop is about my house as clutter. My son’s belongings are in the basement and his daily living items are about the house. I am super glad he is here and for our time together, but this empty nester is practicing accepting things which I cannot control. Eventually all this too shall pass and I will have days of normalcy, if there ever is such a thing.
We saw the new Kevin Costner movie “Horizon” last night and I really enjoyed it, but my men were “mey” about it. I like the authenticity of a historical story about the determination to survive traveling to live in a dangerous unknown part of the world. Since I love genealogy, I love this kind of story. For instance, the young boy’s story is truly one of survival as he depends on the many adults in his world to keep him alive, as is care and control is passed along. I can see him being 80 years old one day and being the oldest living original settler of the City of Horizon. What a life story he would have to tell! As I have native American in my blood, I also find the decisions and stories of the Indians interesting.
I was thinking that I have no ancestors that went that far out west. I believe some of the siblings of my ancestors went out for a short bit during the gold rush, but they came back. Other than that, my ancestors were here in Missouri very early on, much before the timeline of this movie. Their stories of survival are similar and yet very different. I love being so deeply rooted Missourian in so many lines of ancestry.
That’s enough for today. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
