Ditch Lilies

Hemerocallis fulva, the common ditch lily or daylily, is the grandmother of all daylilies.  Here in Madison County in June, they can be seen along roadsides and in ditches every where.

Conner in the Clover

Conner is the newest resident at the house above Heck Creek.  His birthday was March 24, and he's been with us for three weeks now. He can go from the sweetest cuddliest puppy to wild thing maniac in half a minute.  We're certainly busy keeping up with him.  But look at that adorable face!
