Lilycount 1

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.

Sometimes there are raindrops inside the blossoms, but today they were outside!

These aren’t the last lilies, but there’s probably only about 4 more after today. Hopefully one a day for the next few days.

Usually I count multiple times, until I consistently come up with the same number, but this time I just went with the first count. It’s about right.

This many lilies is both too many to count, and too many to try to fit into a single photo, so I took a picture of just this little cluster.

I think this matches the highest lilycount previously recorded.

Lilycount 36

I was tempted to just announce the lilycount as “too many to count,” but Jackie counted 36, and then I got the same number when I counted, so I figure it’s probably accurate.

Things are starting to get serious, lily-bloom-wise speaking.

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.
