Shelly > June 15, 2009 Mama Sorenson's Daylily Passed down for at least four generations, this daylily got its start in my great grandmother's yard. Thanks to my mother, enough bulb sets have been salvaged and passed along so that my brothers and I as well as our aunts and uncles and cousins have them too. I guess that makes these an heirloom variety in their own right. The heat has pretty well zapped mine for the rest of the year, but I can count on them coming back again.

Shelly > July 13, 2008 Hope in the Shadows Yesterday Kim asked about Grace, the beautiful Kildeer mother whose nest I had been watching. I wish I had a real answer to report, but here's what I do know. Her nest had been smack dab in the middle of our church parking lot (Grace Fellowship www.whatisgrace.org) -- hence her name. Some other members had spotted her first, stacked some rocks nearby and marked the area with traffic cones to keep her safe. I think everyone who saw her enjoyed showing her to their kids and talking about the wonders God puts into our lives. Over the Fourth of July weekend, someone had moved one of her markers and used it to set off fireworks. I replaced it once, but the next day the parking lot was littered with even more firework debris and her markers had all been moved to the end of the parking lot. There was no trace of Gracie or her eggs. I really felt low that morning because I THINK some neighborhood kids may have destroyed her nest. I HOPE, however, that Grace's eggs hatched before I expected them to and that somewhere in the little drainage ditch that runs by the parking lot she and her friend, Charity, are living happily with Love, Joy, Peace, Hope and older cousin Chiclet. I have yet to post the last pictures of Chiclet, but will get them up and let you all know soon.
Shelly > June 4, 2008 Daylilies in the Morning It was still early when I shot this, and the blossoms opening for the day had not yet reached their potential. With the previous day's spent blossom still hanging on and at least four or five days of potential promise in coming buds, the daylilies spoke to me. They really didn't speak. Actually, they sang "This is Your Life" by one of my favorite bands, Switchfoot. It's a very special song to me because it was one of the elements that encouraged me to make some important changes in my own life. Part of the lyrics go like this: yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead yesterday is a promise that you've broken don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes this is your life and today is all you've got now yeah, and today is all you'll ever have don't close your eyes don't close your eyes this is your life, are you who you want to be this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be when the world was younger and you had everything to lose yesterday is a kid in the corner yesterday is dead and over this is your life, are you who you want to be this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be when the world was younger and you had everything to lose
Shelly > July 9, 2007 Philippine Lily This is one of the few things that's doing well in our garden right now. Everything else is terribly stressed from the constant rain. I believe we've had rain 25 of the last 28 days. Maybe now we'll dry out a bit, and before long, we'll be wishing for rain again.

Mama Sorenson's Daylily

Passed down for at least four generations, this daylily got its start in my great grandmother's yard. Thanks to my mother, enough bulb sets have been salvaged and passed along so that my brothers and I as well as our aunts and uncles and cousins have them too. I guess that makes these an heirloom variety in their own right.

The heat has pretty well zapped mine for the rest of the year, but I can count on them coming back again.
