TELECARE/LIRIOPE/ GET YOUR MOTOR RUNNING

If you know a senior who lives alone or perhaps a disabled younger person, Cowards Corner with Luckie tells of a service that you may wish to volunteer for or perhaps organize in your area under the guidelines of a group called TeleCare. She has an excellent post here which is worth a look see.

I am more of a foliage person than a flower person but am thrilled when the foliage I love also provides a lovely display of blossoms.

This is my varigated liriope which gives these lovely blue-violet blossoms in late summer. It is useful as a ground cover, an edger( like I prefer), or as an accent plant. The flowers are followed by blue-black berry like fruits in the fall. Mine grow in full sun but they do well in shade and underneath trees. It is considered mostly allergy free (a consideration for me) and causes little or no allergy problems in most people.

BIKE SHOW

Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Like a true nature's child

We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high

I never wanna die

A little love from Steppenwolf

This past week end, there was a motorcycle show in the near by town. The bikes had been roaring past my house which sits on a main highway into town. This is a big week end with bike shows and music. So, I put on my do wrap, fake tattoos and went to the show. Well maybe not the fake tattoos, they don't do well over wrinkles. I do love the bikes though.

One thing cool about Arkansas is that I have never seen so many codgers on bikes as I have here. The roads are perfect for biking, little traffic and lots of fun curves.

This used to be a sport of the wild bunch, the outlaws. Now days if you scratch a biker deep enough you will find bankers, lawyers and doctors. Truthfully, it is usually only the pretty well off that can afford these toys. Some are more expensive than a luxury car. Marlon Brando must be a turning in his grave.

The crowds were big for the little town.

A few modifications here.

Camping anyone?

Ah, maybe not. Doesn't look too comfortable.

It was a fun day.
