Rainy daylillies and a recent book

From an older post...

These earliest day lilies are Stella d'Oro. A smaller flower without the pointed edges, which usually has a curl to their edges.  Maybe when they dry out again.


From June 2019



I have loved Sally's acting, in movies. I never watched her Giget or Flying Nun TV shows.  But I had some trouble reading this.

This audio book also was read by Sally. It was a long book, details of many difficult times in her life, then finally Sally made it in her goals in life, in spite of how many mistakes she made and a crappy childhood.

All in all, it's a nicely crafted book. I think I would have preferred reading the text, but you never know.  Listening to it helped me stay in a really blue funk however...and I could have done without that.


Today's quote:

And I realize that no matter where I am, whether in a little room full of thought, or in this endless universe of stars and mountains, it’s all in my mind.


—Jack Kerouac

    1. My reply disappeared. I think I said I don't really love daylilies.

    1. I guess Sally wasn't ever in the news as havind difficulties, they were hidden. Those flowers are prized by some, I could live without them.
