It was hot, hot, hot, and there was traffic, traffic, traffic. The best event of the drive was seeing an egret near the rest area along Lake Erie.
I guess I haven't been at this house of Irene's in mid summer before. She has some lovely lilies. This one might be 'White Pixels,' but there are quite a few cultivars that are similar.
These are (I think) the ones I am missing at home. The color isn't quite as deep, but they are close. Apparently their actual cultivar name is 'Black Falcon.' It's considered an heirloom daylily.
But this one is the stunner. And it's about 4 feet tall. I think this one is called 'Nettie's Pride.'
And Irene and me? Well, we aren't getting younger, but we are still here.
Today was the longest drive. It was a tough one with the heat (I have no air conditioning), but I made it OK, and only in mid afternoon did I break down and buy a drink with ice.

Long drive in heat with no air isn't fun. Glad you made it to your destination. Those lilies are pretty. Love that last one.
Lulu: "Ooh, our Dada had a car with no air conditioning many years ago! He says he bought it because 'in New York, it's usually winter'. Turns out that's not true ..."
Ann- yes, lilies were a nice perk!
Lulu- Dada has it mostly right, but this week seems to be hot.
