This will be a short post after a long day. I call this post “yoga” because Dream Keeper was doing yoga this AM. That’s what I feel like trying to get photos and not break scapes. Dream Keeper is more graceful looking.
I just wanted to share my premiers for today.
All American Chief Purple Moonrise – another premiere-premiere that been in the yard several years without blooming. Red Mystery- a daylily with no name tag that I saved from my backyard. Inwood – I’ve had her several years. Good to see her again. What I look like taking daylily photos early in the morning.
Change of shift is obviously when one group goes home and another one takes over. Well, since I left on vacation last Wednesday, I have had a lot of premiers and finales. I am not sure how many of each – but I do know that I have 44 in bloom today and 21 are new since I pulled out on my trip.

I had about 400 trip photos to go through, so I haven’t had time much time to count finales. I do know I missed at least one and others I only saw one bloom.

Was it worth it? Oh, yea – Colorado is beautiful and it is good to get out of town. Of course, the downside is that I now worry about COVID. Oh, I masked and carried hand sanitizer everywhere – around my neck. That said, there are a lot of people wondering around Colorado and our cases are on the rise.
