Those Day Lilies! (and the insane GOP convention of TX)

 

As you can see, these beds are partially shaded, especially from the afternoon sun.

I've been spending hours working on a birthday celebration post on my ancestry blog "Three Family Trees," for my great grandmother on my mother's father's side...Annie Elizabeth Williams Webb...born 1862 in MO, and married and lived the rest of her life in Texas, dying one month before I was born in 1942 (also in Texas). Come on over and learn a bit about her and her family! 

And I once was proud to be a Texan, as well as a Republican during Eisenhower's era.

What's the matter with these people? G.O.P. belongs on a desert island where they can rule in their own strange way...it sure ain't American!!

"...delegates to a convention of the Texas Republican Party today (June 19, 2022) approved platform planks rejecting 'the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and [holding] that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States”; requiring students “to learn about the dignity of the preborn human,” including that life begins at fertilization; treating homosexuality as “an abnormal lifestyle choice”; locking the number of Supreme Court justices at 9; getting rid of the constitutional power to levy income taxes; abolishing the Federal Reserve; rejecting the Equal Rights Amendment; returning Christianity to schools and government; ending all gun safety measures; abolishing the Department of Education; arming teachers; requiring colleges to teach “free-market liberty principles”; defending capital punishment; dictating the ways in which the events at the Alamo are remembered; protecting Confederate monuments; ending gay marriage; withdrawing from the United Nations and the World Health Organization; and calling for a vote “for the people of Texas to determine whether or not the State of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation.'”
