Last Daylily of 2021

 Today we have our last daylily bloom of 2021. It has been a remarkable season. Seldom do daylilies last through July, and yet here it is, 7 August.

This daylily is also special, because it was already a part of this flowerbed before we planted the daylilies we got from David and Doris. It is original to our house we bought in 2019. As we have said before herein, we have really enjoyed our flowers this particularly wet summer. It is only in the last 2 weeks that we have had successive dry days. It has also not been quite as hot as we have seen in the past. In fact, most mornings it is extremely pleasant sitting on the upper porch drinking coffee and seeing what is on the pond.

But it is the exception that makes things interesting. In Alabama no one complains that the summer is not hot enough--it is, even this year.

And, here's a reminder from last Spring.

Thank you L^rd for the beauty of the earth.
