| Muscadet Lilies 6/29/19 |
Dear Blog Friends, Thank You so much for all of your wonderful comments on my last post. Many of you remember the book, "A Girl of the Limberlost". The book was written by Gene Stratton-Porter (first published in 1909) --and is a story about Elnora Comstock, an Indiana girl who grew up on the edge of the Limberlost swamp. In order to pay for her education, she collected moths. Elnora's beauty of soul and love of nature continues to charm readers of all ages. IF you want more information on this book, click
HERE.
Today --I'm showing you MY love of nature. Here is one more post of the beautiful LILIES in our Yard this year. If you missed seeing Part I, be sure and read it first. Click
HERE. We are so fortunate to have had so many blooming Lilies in our yard this year... Hope you enjoy seeing more of my favorite pictures of the LILIES.

Well Friends, this wraps up my pictures of our beautiful Lilies... I dearly love Lilies --and have been SO happy with all of the ones on the deck which bloomed this year in addition to the ones in the front yard. Our flowers loved the wet winter/spring ---and that is what kept the deer away I think. There were many more plants/weeds, etc. growing in the woods which they could eat this year. When there is drought, the deer are HERE looking for anything they can find to eat.
Speaking of Drought, we are in a really hot and dry period here now.... Strange how we always seem to get either too much rain at once, or NONE. It gets frustrating to those of us trying to grow flowers and have a pretty yard... Oh Well--'tis LIFE --and I still love it!!!!
If you missed checking out the link (click
HERE) talking about all of the different kinds of Lilies, here is it again for you. Lilies are interesting flowers for sure!!!!
Have an awesome week ---and get out in nature this week and enjoy it!!!!
Hugs,
