Beautiful Corn

The girls and I have been busy working up corn.  At first, we didn’t think it would do very well because of all the rain we had but it seems to have not hurt it any.  We put up 104 ears in the freezer.  That should do us nicely through the winter.

I wanted to share the view with you all from my back porch.  It was a beautiful morning here in Floyd.  Our temperature this morning was 48 degrees.  Amazing!  Grace and I wore jeans to the garden this morning to pull the corn.

This is a picture of some flowers we planted at the edge of the garden.  They sure do add color to the space and look very cheerful.

I have shown you all this flower before.  We researched it and found some people call them “naked ladies”.  Well, this year, we found out more about them.  They are also called “resurrection lily”.  I like that name so much better.  In early spring,  they will come out as foliage, then they die back and in late July or early August these beautiful flowers come up.  Amazing how God works!  All the years we have lived here, the green foliage has come up and I just thought it didn’t have bloom on it.  I never made the connection between the foliage and the flower.  Remember last week when I helped Hubby texture a ceiling, the lady who owned the house gave me all this information.  She had them growing in her yard as well.

Well, that’s about it.  Time for us to eat lunch.  I hope you all have a great day and God bless.

 

Naked Lady

I’m sure everyone is thinking what a strange name for a post but it really is the name of the flower.  For the last few years we have had these flowers come up in our yard.  They are a gift from God.  We love them.  I guess they are called Naked Ladies because they have no leaves.  They just grow up straight and have a beautiful flower on them.  We had 2 others but something broke them before they got to bloom.  (probably small 4 legged creatures-kitties). 

This morning’s temperature was 56 when we got up!  I think it definitely is starting to feel like fall.  I really enjoy all the seasons but I think fall is my favorite.  (Even if it does mean time to cut wood).  I hope you all have a great day and God bless.
