Today is Fertilizer Friday. Please check out Tootsie Time to see the others.

Apple Picking Time

Today after work, my friends and I got together to pick apples and do some baking.


There was lots of laughter and singing.

We make Apple Pie Squares and Apple Crumb Pie.

The best part was the sampling.

One piece is never enough.

Resurrection Lily

Resurrection Lily, also known as the Naked Lily and Surprise Lily.

In the Spring, the leaves sprout forth looking like large tulips but just wither away as though the plant gave up and died. This of course is where it gets it's common name resurrection lily.

Thick naked flower scapes rise to 2’ tall in late summer, That is why it is called naked lily.

What makes it surprising is that about this time (August) every year, they just pop out of the ground with no leaves or foliage of any sort.

Annual aster

I took these photo tonight. I really love annual asters. It takes them forever to bloom, but well worth the wait.
