FLOWER POWER


Just a little progress report:

we had some major front line winds this morning - lots of branches down. The sad thing is the farmers' beautiful corn crop was flattened in many areas......
yesterday it was 5 ft tall - today it's 10".












this huge branch didn't break completely and is swinging in the breeze - the neighbors refer to this as "a widow maker"

scary
















Remember my friend who gave me the lilies?

She hybridizes them so every single one is different - each a new surprise...... I planted about 125.










everyday gives me is a new present













how lucky am I ?




























PLUS - the veggies are coming in !!

  1. Your lillies are gorgeous. In one respect, the fact that your corn plants are down is a bummer. But what I saw is that now you can say you have "Crop Circles" on your property.

  2. You are very lucky - those lillies are gorgeous!

    There is nothing like a "living" present.

    Have a great weekend,

  4. Ronda, I write like I'm a local - when I said "our corn crop" I was speaking of our local farmers....not mine. I WISH I had that much property !! (I've edited the post)

    I was just thinking of you this morning, so glad you stopped by my blog to remind me to visit you!

    How lovely to have veggies. I will prep this summer for boxes to grow veggies next summer. I will be having them built in the next month.
