Here Today, Gone Tomorrow!



You know it is summer when you see the orange daylilies by the side of the road, by a mailbox, behind old stone walls or on the lakeshore. The orange swaths pop up in unexpected places and are reminder to us to enjoy the fleeting days of summer.


Yet each flower lasts only for a single day. Greeting the morning with such boldness and beauty.  An inspiration to us to reflect on what it means to make the most of our time.


With multiple buds on each stem, a cluster can bloom for several weeks.  They are a reminder that each day of summer should be savored and enjoyed. Here today, but gone tomorrow. Carpe Diem - Seize the Day!
