In the midst of it all..........

I'm supposed to be paying bills right now and then I have scrapbooking kits to work on, clothes to mend, groceries to buy and Cinde and Jim's wedding album to create. I stepped outside on a whim. It is hot and muggy, thunderheads showing to the east, tons of stuff I should be doing…….in the midst of it all……I saw this.

I had to stop….no choice in the matter. Lilies of the Nile……they captured me and took me back to a time when Cinde and I sat in her Jacuzzi under the stars with the torches lit and these plants were all around us. We spent many nights just talking and dreaming, both of us on the verge of huge change in our lives.

These Lilies are on both sides of my front porch and they have special meaning. This is the first year they have bloomed like this, the stalks are almost up to my waist.

Thanks to Lori Giles for the Border Jewelry! I am still learning that you should not flatten your image in Photoshop until you are sure you haven't made any mistakes. If you click on the photo you will see it full sized...the details of the lilies and of my mistake with the border......but like everything else, sometimes perfect is just the way it turns out......mistakes and all :)
Thanks to Mother Earth for the Lilies of the Nile.
