Mostly about my backyard chickens. (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works....

For Barb!
The lilies of Coopville....
We have soooo many of them and every year there are more and more. It's about the only plant that I cant kill, even when I transplant them!
Hey! Just saw them! They are the hardiest of all hardies! Old vanished homesteads can sometimes be identified by the remaining daylilies and lilacs still living. I'll send you some pics of the hybrid colors I have. They're not as aggressive as these, but hardy enough for my area.
The deer really like mine, especially in the spring when the plants are just a couple of inches tall. I did dust with powdered eggs on what was left, and several more dustings since, so the deer have left them alone and now there are flower pods about too bloom.
The deer don't bother ours - there are just so many of them up here. Glad you could save yours and will get to enjoy the blooms! They are lovely to look at.
They are beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you! We're going to transplant some along the stone walls in the back, too. They will brighten it up a wee bit back there!
DeleteAbsolutely lovely. They remind me of my childhood home.
ReplyDeleteThe are nice, aren't they? I love their color against all the green!
DeleteAmusing, my wife's name is Barbara and she loves day lilies.
ReplyDeleteWell, they're for your Barbara, too Gorges! 'Hope she enjoys 'em! :o)

ReplyDeleteIt sees every place around here has them too, Barb. Free landscaping! LOL!
Delete...and very dependable!
ReplyDeleteYup! I can't say I'm sorry to have them around - they multiply like bunny rabbits!
