It's lily season

I think these are Stargazer lilies, but I'm not sure. They're growing at work, and they just make me smile every day I see them. I have to go over and inhale like a dope smoker, drawing that perfume through my sinuses and storing it up in my lungs. Glory and joy! I'm so glad to have a sense of smell!
And a sense of sight. Aren't they gorgeous? Look at that blue sky, the pink flowers, " . . .the greens of summer. you give me the nice bright colors. Oh momma don't take my Kodachrome awaaay . . . "(thank you for the earworm, Art and Paul.

And thanks to Heide for the suggestion that I could just sew more beads onto my scarf. I did so and I am delighted with it. My inner magpie is dancing for joy because it now sparkles! Thank you, Heide. Great fix!

  2. I love lilies-from far away. I can't stand the smell. It gives me a headache. I choose bouquets of flowers for the ones that don't have lilies in them. I love the way they look and their bright splashes of color are wonderful, as long as I can't smell them.
