How can July, the bright and the warm month, be so hard to bear? It's been sad for me with the death of a friend and with the two year anniversary of my son's death. The same flowers that cheered Jeff two years ago, outside his hospice window, bloomed again in July as if to say to me, "We're back."
There are so many different kinds of lilies. I noticed how tall they stand, even the short ones. They were not going to bend. Finally, I whispered to them, "I won't die from it." I went into the house and got my notebook and began writing their descriptions and studying to learn their names. Today I woke not sad anymore.

Dearest Nancy,
As a Day Lily fancier, I particularly loved the gorgeous pictures you posted on your Blog. I enjoyed reading and catching up on your blog. We've been camping, and also had company, so I've missed getting back to my blog, but finally posted something this am. Good luck with your new class--I envy those students getting special talents for a week. Your classes are all wonderful. Love, Carole Thompson
Beautiful lily pictures, Nancy-- so many lovely varieties. I'm glad your notebook project helped you get un-sad. The pictures helped me feel a little less sad today too. The house is so quiet without Watson. The vet said he improved a little today.
Well I certainly did 'consider' your lilies. They are an anthem of GLORY!
Just beautiful!
Nancy,
I love this posting on the lilies. They are splendid. You have a great place to grow flowers.
Did you feel the tremors from the earthquake this morning?
Your lilies are gorgeous. I love them, but not in cut arrangements inside. I am very allergic to lilies, but nothing is more beautiful when growing in the garden, along banks and grouped in the yard. Thanks for sharing them.
Hello Brenda,I did not know about the earth quake tremor. I 've felt it before years ago. We are on a fault line they say.
Nancy, beautiful day lily pictures of the different varieties. They do so well here. We try to add more varieties to our garden each year.
Sam
