Something Lovely...
I love this Stargazer Oriental Lily. I had about 3 of these at my garden at our previous house. The squirrels dug up one bulb and then buried it again. So, I had this beautiful lily come up in a surprising spot. The blooms don't last more than a few weeks but they are so striking, I think that they are well worth planting!

On another note...today is report card day. I had two excited kids this morning. They are hoping to get some kind of financial reward for all their hard work! They were telling each other what they would be spending all their money on...funny thing is, that they don't even know for certain if they will getting any!

Well, Mondays are my cleaning day. I am on my 4th load of laundry and the house looks pretty good. It has been a very quiet Monday...nice and peaceful...

I love lilies!
I am anxious to see the plants come up here at my new house. I have no idea what's been planted so Spring will bring me lots of surprises this year.
Well, I have finally started my own blog. You guys have inspired me to give it a try.

I think that those are my favourite flower - I didn't know the name. The Principal at one of my school's received some last week. Everytime you enter the office you can detect the beautiful scent.

Upon opening your blog my response way - Wow!
I love lilies and was just checking my garden out looking for signs of their return - none yet - but hopefully soon.

My third load of laundry is soon to go in. The towels and bedding never end!!

Have a wonderful day!!
