July is the month to enjoy the beautiful wild lily. As it has a very strong fragrance, people of today seldom bring it into the house. I just smiled at you like a lily in the pathside bush,
Why can you jump to a conclusion
I have agreed to be your wife?
-A poem in the 8th century-
I found a wild chestnut. People in those days would eat them.
"I just smiled at you like a lily in the pathside bush." That had better be a proposal, and that is why shotgun marriages were invented. At least from the Appalachian point of view.
The lilies are gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteThese lilies are so beautiful in the bush, and the wild chestnuts look amazing there. Lovely photos of them.
ReplyDelete以前，朋友送我一盆百合花，替我打理植物的園丁叔叔說它的香味易招蛇，沒多久院子裡真的住了一家子蛇，也許是巧合吧，因為害怕蛇，我很快搬離那單位了。
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. It must be so fragrant to walk near their path.
ReplyDeleteThe lilies in the bush look so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the wild chestnut.
Enjoy your August days.
All the best Jan
I can smell the lilies from here. The chestnut tree is interesting too. I like the picture of the woods. Looks like fairies might live there. ; )
