Blankets again
I got behind again and can't get caught up, so I'm sending warm blankets
of purrs and best wishes. I see we have some new kitties, and some lolcats (not all of which would come up for me), so I'm getting some smiles from the group today :-) I'm just hanging in, trying to get done what I can to get my life in order, but failing miserably it seems in terms of getting ahead of anything. I have an oncologist appointment at the end of the month. I guess we will know then when surgery will be scheduled. Karen and I have started our garden. Long story, but to make it short (yeah, right!): Horrible landlord bought old home where I'd live since 1986. Mean, nasty, hissspit jerk. Before I could go back and get them, he had shoveled under my little urban garden, and destroyed the boxes I had built. all plants were gone. I've been trying to take a walk close to every day; just to get out, get some fresh air, move my aching bones, and feel a little better while doing something good for my body. It's a short walk, mind you, but it's a start. And I usually go by the back of the old place. So the other day I noticed that my iridescent lillies were up. That's right! They got missed by the Plant-Killer of Death! My former behind-neighbor, Lovely Linda of the Dulcet Tones, had given the bulbs to me a number of years ago, and they were the first bulbs I ever planted. They're odd lilies (for me, at least), as the shoots come up in spring, then die back completely, and in late summer/early fall, only the stalks shoot back up with the lilies on top. The lilies are gorgeous; soft pink and iridescent. I think the Biker Dude's Lady down the street started these, and passed them on, and now there are several places in the neighborhood with them. Well, I decided I was going to Take Back the Lilies! Along with a few of the daylilies that had crept over from Linda's yard besides. So with my faithful sidekick Karen (aka, my neighbor), we headed out with trowel and nothing else (oops, should have thought to bring a bag or something!) on a Sunday afternoon, and we carefully dug up lilies, lilies, and lilies. I planted three bulbs. OMG! we said, after they were all dug up. There had to be 20 bulbs! We carried them carefully down to the new place, dug out a couple of places for them on either side of our front porches, and planted the daylilies by her side and the pink lilies by mine. Just call me a Lily Thief ;-) And pray they survive their unseasonable rescue! Ginger-lyn |

At least the ones I have in the colors I'm not fond of do. I've got to do a better job of tagging those for removal. And the pink ones you are talking about seem to be really hardy suckers too. We see they blooming around here in late summer in the oddest places, where they have outlasted the homes that planted them. Jo |

Just call me a Lily Thief ;-) And pray they survive their unseasonable rescue! Ginger-lyn Good luck with the lilies! I suspect they'll thrive in your care. There's something about the continuity of growing things that I love. I have peony bushes that have been moved every time we have moved. I also treasure the irises and other plants that friends have given me "starts" of, friends who have since passed away. I think about them every time I look at those plants. Sherry |
