The asiatic lillies (Lilium) have been blooming. They bloom earlier and have deeper color than the oriental lilies.      The deer love to eat the growing tips of these lilies. If they do the plant does not bloom.  The only ones that survive are those that are deeper into the garden. Those on the edges are goners. such is the fate of the urban gardener. Lilies Sitting by the banks of my village pond, I see majestic lotus sprouting all over the water, The red, pink and white petals over the green leaves, casts an aura of eternal beauty in my spirits. When I go to the little village market, I find flower vendors selling the beautiful lotus, I see the majesty turned into helpless offering, I see the perpetual flower with seeded body crying for self esteem. The beautiful white Calla Lily adorned with smooth green stem, makes me think it as a nice offering to the memory of my loved ones, The smooth and sensuous beauty of the pristine white lily, would enhance the beauty of my love with purity and divinity. When I look at the yellow Asiatic lily, I see an exalted beauty radiating her charm away. while the white Lily shows us the glimpse of heavenly resurrection, the beautiful yellow lily invites us to enjoy our life on the earth with elation. We forget the blue, violet, pink and green lilies, their beauty invokes some spiritual love with nature in our hearts, they don't fear the adverse and unknown dangers, they stand smiling fearless and eager to rekindle our souls.

They were able to completely take over and block my screen but Apple Support was able to help me get my screen back and I don’t think they got into my computer. Be careful out there. Apple says it never blocks a computer screen and they are not permitted to give their last name. DS
