AMERICAblog: Happy FĂȘte du Muguet

  • OlderAndWiser · 1 year ago
    Love lilies of the valley, but they don't grow well in the hot weather we get in NC, although I did have a few at my old house in the shade. I have lots and lots of "real" lilies, though. The yellow and orange kind grow alongside the road here, wild and beautiful.

    Happy May Day, everyone!

    Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is giving reps from the Office of Legal Counsel pure HELL for the WH's "secret laws" on CSPAN.

    Remember "unitary executive?" And the Krazy Kriminal Klown is still in charge, folks."Running a program that is in direct conflict with an Executive Order." -- Whitehouse. Secrets, secrets, secrets...obfuscation, no oversight, criminal behavior by the WH.

    Oooh Lilies of the Valley! I have them taking over a corner of my yard, and I LOVE them.

    The scent is wonderful!

    If you expect the current Rovian Department of Justice to ACTUALLY ENFORCE the law, I am afraid you are mistaken.

    The DOJ only fakes laws while enacting the crimes they cover with more secrets and lies. And then again, let us all thank our lovely MEDIA, the ones who are in place to PROTECT AND INFORM us citizens...

    WHERE is the recipe for Melt-In-Your-Mouth Chocolate Cake?!!! Couldn't find it over there.

    Love Clotilde's writing, thanks for that.

    such a sweet smelling little flower is lily of the valley. but you don't want it in your garden unless have it contained. the littlle devil will spread via its roots and you will wish you never thought so highly of it. kinda like the republican party.

    It sounds more like what the Republican party USED to be like. HEHEHE, they have lost their mojo I hear...

    Merci, Chris. I would have forgotten this year because I am in the middle of moving--I should be packing right now, not blogging. I have always loved this little custom. We have les muguets where I live as well, so I have passed the tradition on to mes enfants.
