Giant Asian Lilies
The lilies we bought last week have opened up and to my delight, they are HUGE. The span across the petal tips is about nine inches. Like lilies on steroids, or something. I wish we could transmit the wonderful fragrance of these pink beauties over the internet. Click on the image to enlarge.
Road With A View
Today, we went on our usual Monday (senior discount day) shopping trip to the discount store in town. As we pulled out on the unpaved road that connects us to the outside world, we were treated with our usual view of lower Casandro Wash with the Hieroglyph Mountains in the distance.

Four Red Trumpets
All four of the amaryllis flowers on the first stalk are now open. I had to wait for some sunshine to take this picture since it was raining this morning. Click on the image to enlarge.
“Contemptible Ray” Nagin Indicted
Contemptible Ray, the anti-gun mayor of New Orleans has been indicted on a host of charges. You remember Nagin, who confiscated legally owned weapons from New Orleans citizens in the wake of hurricane Katrina. Despite a court order to return the weapons, he and his police squad stored them in barrels and squatted on them until being found in contempt of court. By then, many of the guns were rusted and rendered non-functional.
Now, he may finally get the jail time he so richly deserves . . .
From The Patriot Post:
Ray Nagin Indicted
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin was indicted last week on 21 counts of fraud, bribery, money laundering and tax falsification related to kickbacks he took from businesses looking to rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina. The indictment accuses Nagin of using his office to enrich himself and business associates through wire transfers, free travel and other illegal means. Nagin’s indictment is no surprise, considering the corrupt history of New Orleans politics and Nagin’s own reputation. It’s also no surprise that only one major news outlet reporting of the event identified Nagin’s party affiliation. In case you were wondering, he’s a Democrat, through and through.
Red Amaryllis
Two of the four amaryllis buds opened today. These are very bright red in color. After these have opened and are gone, there is another flower stalk on this plant with more red flowers to come! Click on the image to enlarge.
