September

"Lilies"

It's September, fall is on the way and summer will soon be a distant memory. Gone will be the summer flowers, asleep in their flower beds for another season.

One of those old friends I will miss the most are the day lilies that grace my landscape. Their gentle beauty and colorful faces and more than welcome each year. I look forward every spring as I clean away the dead leaves to the small green sprouts that signal their arrival. Isn't it wonderful that we always have something to look forward to. Darkness may come, old friends may die, but there is always the dawn, new birth and the loving grace of God our father to usher us into the new day.

Until next month..........................JB
