Waterlilies or Lotus?

I thought the white flowers were all waterlilies.

Good morning. 🥬🥬🥬

20 August 2024

Ben and Charlie are back at home. Charlie woke me this morning with a low ruff, like he was trying to wake me and not disturb anybody else. Right now, Ben is behind my chair snoring. I think his snore sounds like the dishwasher. I didn't know he was in here until I heard him, even then I couldn't see him because he is at an angle that just turning my head to see around the chair doesn't work.

I have a full morning this morning, so I need to get going. I know I want to fill this page quickly, so I do what I sometimes do and just start babbling. Hmmm ... I wonder what the roots of the word babbling are, and if it is related to the tower.

Oooh Nooo😆:

From #GreatMeadows, which might become a regular Sunday outing once again. Locust borer, Concord grapes, leopard frog, and too many colors of green in the impound. #getoutside #insect #frog #WildGrapes #AmericanLotus #nature
Finally, everyone is healthy enough for an outing, so we went back to #GreatMeadows, a place that we visited every Sunday morning for about 10 years. Today, the American Lotus is setting fruit. There is wild rice spreading thru the impound, and if you step off path, you're very likely to have company. #getoutside #AmericanLotus #WildRice #LeopardFrog #watersnakes
