It’s been a while since I’ve been able to say anything via my ‘blog because we have a new computer which is taking me a while to become accustomed to.

There are two mystery plants, which I’m hoping someone can ID. The first is a plant from the florist’s (the green shiny leaves with white flowers) and the cute blue bells, which are wild flowers I photographed along side Lake Oowah in the Lasals where we spent the fourth of July sitting in the shade and enjoying the cool.

We were prepared to catch dinner and there’s John holding a lovely rainbow trout. Delicious!

This spring, after swathing my Asiatic Lily with chicken wire to prevent squirrels from chewing on the tender buds, we got this lovely group of very fragrant flowers.

The last photo is of what John likes to call the Desert Nasturtium. The Sensenbrenner family seems to have a penchant for nasturiums. This is an Adenium obesum, called a desert rose. This one has made me proud because it actually survived my care for a year to bloom.

That’s the current news. Next week we’re headed for Idaho and the Lolo Trail and Bitterroot Mountains to follow some of Lewis & Clark’s trail. Should be very interesting.
