The Garden is in Full Bloom

With the early onset of warm weather, the lilies are blooming at least a week to two weeks in advance. Usually it is in July before the fullness of the garden takes place, but each morning when we walk out, there are more and more beautiful flowers. The butterflies are appearing and this seems to be a spectacular season for dragonflies. I am so thankful for the summer months when I can take a break from teaching to enjoy my time in the garden. Every morning is spent with Birdman as we drink our morning cups of coffee, read the paper, and then walk through the gardens to see what new lilies have bloomed for the day.
