Garden Stroll
Thus far this Year I have been conducting the Garden Strolls on the First Day of each Month. Today is an exception. The flowers were lovely looking and the Morning was overcast so no shadows. Sometimes I also use the Flash option to acquire a better picture.
Enjoy the Pictures.
Memories
"Two Great Kids"
Today, 19 February 2022 as I observe 82 Years on this Planet I was viewing pictures from the Shoe Box. These were taken in the 1980s when Our Sons were much younger.
Anchors Aweigh
Stand
Navy out to sea, fight our battle cry!
We'll never change our course so vicious foes
steer shy-y-y-y!
Roll out the TNT, anchors aweigh!
Sail on to victory, and sink their bones to Davy
Jones, hooray!
Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh!
Farewell to Foreign Shores, we sail at break of
day-ay-ay-ay;
Through our last night ashore, drink to the
foam,
Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a
happy voyage home!
Blue of the mighty deep, Gold of God's great
sun;
Let these our colors be, Till All of time be
done-n-n-ne;
On seven seas we learn, Navy's stern call:
Faith, courage, service true, With honor over,
honor over all.

Garden Stroll
Today we feature Helleborus commonly known as "Lenten Roses!"
This is what I found for "Helleborus Niger" quoted from the Missouri Botanical Garden Website:
"Best grown in moist, organically rich, humusy, neutral to alkaline, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Prefers light to moderate shade. Locate plants in sheltered locations in areas protected from cold winter winds. Plants usually take several years to establish. Clumps may be divided for propagation, but clumps never require division and will form and grow best when left undisturbed. Plants may self-seed in optimum growing conditions. This species is considered to be more difficult to grow than the similar but later blooming Helleborus orientalis."
These pictures are from My Garden here In Middle Georgia:
