Color of summer
I'm at the Appalachian Writers Conference now. Some buildings have wi-fi, so I can post to the blog.
I took these pictures of lillies in my yard the day before I left. We're in mid-summer, but the colors say autumn.
The lillies pictured above are from some seeds my friend Sally gave me. I don't know the name. Sally just called them "multi-colored lillies." The lillies pictured below came from my mother's yard in Roanoke when I moved to Franklin County in 1999.
Many of my flowers started elsewhere before they became mine.
I guess my ideas start elsewhere, too. They take root in my mind and bloom in my writing.
In the middle of summer, I imagine autumn.

This is true and I like the symbolism made with your lilies.
I too have been thinking of autumn. I can't wait as we never had the luxury of fall leaves or appropriatly cool weather down there.
I am glad I am not the only one...
Beautiful pictures and I too like the symbolism. Pretty little piece of writing.
