all in a day’s work

the city of shoreview, where i live, recently planted a boulevard median with daylilies. daylilies are like apple pie. apple pie no one’s favortite pie, but everyone likes it, so it’s a safe bet. daylilies check the same box–hardy, colorful, and pleasant enough. the median, when it bloomed was in a gradient of daylily colors. wow!  i don’t usually think of city planners and road crews as exceeding expectations. but this was a delight. anyway, i have been eyeing the flowers all summer, but the problem is the median is on a  heavily trafficked highway so i was going to have to pull over, put my hazard lights on, and then cross two lanes of fast moving traffic. which i finally did. for STILL. for you. 🙏🏼
