Overlook: Power Outage

Red Dirt in My Soul

Ranch Life In Wyoming

Power Outage

I was rushing to finish mowing my lawn before the thunderstorms hit...

I did.

Then they did.

As I walked into the house, it was dark. No power.

Musta been a lightning strike somewhere...

I broke out candles and oil lamps and a lantern.

By 9:30, I couldn't keep my eyes open as we'd been up since 4:30 am.

To bed for me, no way to send out apologies...

But I'll give you a photo this morning... and a regular post tonight.

Anyone know what kind of flower this is?

It is growing wild in my lawn...

That's probably Star-of-Bethlehem, _Ornithogalum_ spp.

I do know this flower--that is I know about it but can't think of the name. If you pull one up, I think you will find a bulb at the end. At home in my garden they spread everywhere. I think they are lovely so always left a few and pulled the rest. the bloom mid spring for a bit then die off. If I come up with a name I will let you know.
