Beginning to Bloom

This will be the third season I see these day lilies bloom. They were a gift from a former parishioner and made the move with us to our new home. This morning, we walked outdoors and several were blooming. Their stems are growing at odd angles from the week they spent in plastic bags during the move, but thanks to Hank from church, they are transplanted, blooming, and on their way to becoming established here in Malta.

Thanks to all the folk who helped us pack, load, unload and continue to unpack. It’s a reminder when we see these lilies and see the gradually increasing pile of empty boxes that an entire community is adopting us, praying for us, and pitching in to help us bloom in our new home.
