Howllo Fellow Hound and Lily Lovers: Well, this is the final installment of what my back yard gave to me for my birthday. It was so pawsome and fun. The gifts just kept coming all morning long. This final gift really got to my heart. As many of you know today is the last day for my year long Lily’s basset bucks fund-raiser. It has been a huge success and I am working on the totals right now. I am also working on a Vlog to report the totals. I hope to have that up later today.

Anyway, after I saw the cardinal drying his wings I turned to go inside. That is when I spotted the first ditch Lily of the season, in bloom in my back yard.

I had a nice little happy cry because I knew my Lily made it bloom for me today as a birthday gift from her. Most folks call them day Lilie’s, but around here they grow really good in ditches. We had an entire field of them behind the home that I brought Lily to. That is how she got her name from her Grandma. I have rolls, and rolls, of pictures of her in front of the massive fields, but they are not loaded onto this computer. I will do that soon and it will be a real treat, I guarantee it. I transplanted all of the Lilies I have today at my home from that field. They are very special to me.

As you can see this Lily bloomed right in front of a statue that we call, “Our Lady of the Basset Hounds”. My Dad named the statue that because Lily would always lay in front of her, right at her feet.
Thank you sweet Lily ATB for coming to me today and showing me how much we are still connected. I love you sweet girl and I know you would be proud of all the money your raised for bassets across this United States. Your love is a driving force for me.

I Love you Lily, forever your Mommy
