Dierama, or Lady’s Wand, in the wind and the almost dusk.
Muriel ,my Mum-in-law loved this plant, and her aunt told her
“thems flowers are called Angel’s Bells, my dear”
this must have been about 1924 or so.
Well. tonight the Angel’s Bells moved as the wind swirled
from the south.

Quotation of the day, with reflections on the year past,
sadness and joy, old friends and new friendships, and the challenges of the year ahead,
from Hillaire Belloc, 1870-1953
“From quiet homes and first beginning ,
Out to the undiscovered ends,
There’s nothing worth the wear of winning,
But laughter and the love of friends”
Cheers from Jean

Lovely photos (especially that quilt!)
Yes Shirley, I like the quilt so much too!! Have sent you an email with a real photo of my very own Monet's Hexagon, waiting for a binding, one of the TO DO projects sitting in the wings. Enjoy your time until classes start again. Cheers from Jean
