Day 929: Garden Party

Perfect day for garden party!  112 lilies bloomed and they were gorgeous!  So surprising that the numbers are still increasing.  The light was glorious for photos.

About 20 good friends came, all the folks who love gardening, and we were able to visit with each person.  Penny and Fawzi brought their three daughters.  One was going on to Turkey after visiting her dad.  They are all remarkable women.  After the party, I swam a mile.  The air was so cool that the water felt like bathwater.  Then I mowed.

It all seems very trivial in light of the serious global events going on.  Ukraine's militants appear to have shot down a Malaysian plane killing 295 people.  And, Israel invaded the Gaza strip.  Both events will have major repercussions.  It is such a dangerous time in the world with distressing problems all over the middle east, in Africa, the deteriorating relationship with Russia, environmental disasters, humanitarian crises.  And I spend my time on flowers.  I think about the President who is hammered with criticism every day.  If he spends five minutes per problem per day, it fills the entire 24 hours.  So much strain and stress on him.
