Two days ago, and again today, we had a lilycount of 1, and this appears to be the end of the lilies for this summer.

Jackie reports that there is just one more lily bud, making this one the penultimate lily.

I didn’t look closely enough to see if there were any more buds to bloom over the next few days. Usually at about this time we get a day with no lilies, and then another one or two flowers a couple of times before they’re all gone.

Lilies are past their peak. Today #lilycount 1, although not the last one. #bloomscrolling

Wow! Today’s #lilycount is 63! I think that’s the highest lilycount we’ve ever reached. Bonus: You can see Spleenwort, our front-step gargoyle, way over on the left. #bloomscrolling

I didn’t get my lilicount photo posted yesterday, but since there’s just one lily today, I’ll go ahead and post yesterday’s lilicount 10 photo a day late.

lilies outside my door. 10 of them!

The highest and best use for day lilly leaves is chewing on them, according to Ashley. #dogsofmastodon

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji. My current hobby is HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts, aka sword fighting).

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.
