Today....

    Today I feel much better. I thank all of you for your prayers.  Here's a storm that blew in on Monday evening. Rain, lightening and thunder...the works.  Plenty of sticks to pick up for the yard trash pile.
  Lilies growing very tall here and ready to bloom.  I can not name these as I have no idea what variety they are.
 This is the group next to the ones ready to bloom. I think these are tiger lilies.  These can grow wild in the ditches around our area. I love all kind of lilies. I have seen some red ones that are very pretty.
  I rode along with Ted , yesterday. He picked up a load of wood chunks from his brother, Mick's place. I let Ted do all the heavy lifting....I know shame on me...but I am still not 100 percent yet. :):)
  I haven't much to post about. Just trying to finish getting well. I'll vacuum and wash sheets. Hey, that's enough for me. I think I'll do a deli lunch today. Too hot to cook.
  Wishing all of you a great day. XO

  5. Happy to read you are feeling better Susie, there seems to be lots of sinus infections going around with all the Spring pollen in the air.
    Your lilies are gorgeous, I love those long willowy stems and pretty orange flowers.
    Hope the storms have passed, we get them often, and they bring hail !

    1. Jo, You got it right...that is what everyone around my town is having sinus infections. The drainage makes for a sore throat. The lilies stems are rather strong...wish peonies had them.LOL. Bless you, xoxo,Susie

  6. Allow yourself plenty of time to rest and heal. It seems the older we get, the longer it takes us to get over things. I love lillies too. xo Laura

  8. Hi Susie, Glad you are some better but you are smart not to over do. I love your selection of lilies. We've had several thunderstorms during the nights this week. We live very close to Lake Lanier and we get a light shower most afternoons, too. We ate Mexican out at lunch today and won't need supper - I love nights like this with no cooking! xoxo

    1. Mildred, I felt so good today, I went to visit my sisters that live near each other. We sat out to talk in the breeze, blue skies with puffy white clouds and listened to the Methodist church near by play hymns on the bells. I adore that. I told my sisters...just sitting here listening to the bells and see the beauty of the day was our true blessing. Oh I love days that Ted grills lots of food and he can eat for days and I do not have to cook.LOL. I know it sounds lazy...but I told him I did not retire to be a housemaid. Bless you, love, Susie

    2. You just reminded me that mother and I used to sit on the porch of her home to listen to the church hymns. Nothing sweeter. Happy you had a good time with your sisters. xo

  10. Yes, take it easy, seems sometimes it takes longer to get over stuff, especially as we age. (Pretend I didn't just say that..ha!) our heat has finally passed and now we're in the rainy season again!

    Blessings,

  11. I'm sorry you've been under the weather. Hope you're feeling much better now!
    The hot weather has settled in here, too. I don't do much outside when it's that hot, I guess my age is showing! :) Watering the flowers, etc, is done in the early morning or late evening when it's cooler.
    I've always loved the day lilies. Some call them ditch lilies and I often pass by a bank full by the highway. So pretty.

    1. Thank you Cheryl. I am so much better. Our weather is very humid...it's like August weather. I can see why those would be called ditch lilies, I do see many in the ditches along with queen Anne's lace...or cowparsley, as some call it. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  12. Yes, that's exactly what today is, catch up day. And I told my son to pick up something from the deli cause I'm exhausted from the weekend. It was a hectic one. Sometimes we just have to have a day of rest, ya know? Glad you're feeling better, Susie.

    love, ~Sheri
