Day 1304: The oranges

As I've worked to complete my daylily catalogue, an array of orange and gold lilies remain to be identified.  Many are so similar that my untrained eye can't see much difference among them.  I need Nancy to be here during the peak blooming season.  The oranges, like Flasher and Hot Town, are Steve's favorites, because of the intense color.  Unfortunately, by the time Nancy gets here in a few weeks, most of the lilies will be done.

I love bread and pasta, but I'm trying to live without them.  More veggies, more fruit, more protein and no chips or crackers. Melons, cucumbers, greens, cherry tomatoes, zucchini are all their peak, but they're not enough to fill me up.  With all the exercise, I'm famished all the time.  Steve grilled a steak yesterday and chicken today.  Still not satisfying.  Professor Lupin gave chocolate to Harry when he was trying to summon a patronus, so after a bunch of laps, why not eat semi-sweet chocolate bar?

Another 330 lengths in a 92 degree pool!  That gives me 57.3 miles so I should hit sixty miles on Wednesday.  The hot water sucks the strength right out of me.  Next week a cooling trend is coming, the 80s!
