Now with time on my hands

Could my new thing be gardening?

 

Do I even need a new thing?

Here are some lilies from our garden that I've tried to grow and maintain.

 

We have SO much yard work to do, but Samara is quite helpful and the process of making it all ours, all so pretty, makes me happy. I have a lot to learn, but for now my inspiration is my father and his gorgeous garden, whose inspiration was his father and his bounteous blossoms. Somewhere in there I must have a quarter of a green thumbnail.
