more fourth of july

Bennie brought his boat along and the two of them were trapped on the lake when the storm hit.  A neighbor down the way called them in to safety, served them drinks, kept company with them until the storm passed.   They are people we know and how kind. When they called them in to get off the lake, they didn't know who they were.  They're just that kind of people.

Lilies in the swamp are always perfect July.

They were blooming the day we bought the cabin twenty-two years ago.

Love, Val, aka MOM
