Lotus Blossoms

July 11th thru 13th is Lotus Blossom Days in CA.
July 11th thru 13th is Pig Days in IL

Although both Lil Orchids Paternal Great Grandpa and her Maternal Great Great Grandpa raised some hogs on the farm I feel better about celebrating Lotus Blossom Days. Outside the Hotel where my daughter and I journeyed to bring home Lil Orchid was a woman who sold Lotus Blossoms on the sidewalk, they we so beautiful, still closed and covered with dew.

So I added some photos of my sweet Lil Orchid so innocent and beautiful.
