surprise surprise


I know the name of our cat.


But I do not know the name of this bulb plant.


So, I call them Surprise Flowers.




If anybody knows their real name, feel free to share it with my millions of readers and I.
It's always nice to be informed.


I've had some pop up in the past, but this year I have had more than I've ever seen.  I plant bulbs throughout the year, then just the right conditions come along, and they surprise me and bloom.

They are sure making my October gardens look pretty.

They look like they're in the family of what we call "Naked Ladies" or "Surprise Lilies". Yours are just a bit different, though - but the "stalk" looks very similar.

I do not know the name but they are unusual looking. They do add surprise to the garden and also make for good conversation. You seem to have a green thumb. :)

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
