When I awoke on this longest day of the year and went to fix my morning tea, I caught a flash of orange out of the corner of my eye.
Yesterday, this was only a bud.
I find it fitting that my first daylily bud would burst into bloom to mark the beginning of summer. Its cheerful color mirrors my growing excitement: I can finally say that my husband will return home this season!
To the Nth 
That is so pretty!
Thank you!
How appropriate considering today is the first day of summer 🙂 Looks lovely!
Thanks! Very appropriate, I thought. I’m excited to see when the other buds will burst open.
I’m so happy your husband will be home soon : ) Happy Summer!
Thank you! I’m pretty happy about it, m’self. 😉 Happy Summer to you, too!
