Considering the lilies of the field
by chuckofish
Do you ever feel like Peppermint Patty? I do. But what ho, it is the bell and it tolleth for me. Happily it is Day Lily season and they do brighten up the scenery.
These are from my friend Don’s garden. Our Tiger Lilies are still buds, but elsewhere they are decorating the bi-ways of our town. I do love them! They thrive in our hot humid weather.

I love tiger lilies – probably because we always had them at home! Did you see that Katie and her classmates were exploring the tiger lily textures for their science lesson yesterday?!
Yes, it’s easy to find joy in the beauty around when it is tiger lily season!
Lilies are lovely — I only wished they lasted longer than a day!
