Cool mist brought an early-twilight feel to the late afternoon. I stepped out the door to the soft hooting of an owl and immediately felt myself immersed in the vibrating energy of nature. #magichour

These are Surprise Lilies (also known as Resurrection Lilies and Naked Ladies). They get their name from seeming to appear suddenly, almost miraculously. They showed up here yesterday, which made a sort of sense to me, showing up in their fragrant gentle beauty on the eve of the derecho anniversary. I couldn’t bring myself to post photos of the storm’s aftermath, so I’m sharing these beauties instead in honor of hope, resilience, and recovery. It has been an incredibly difficult year- I can’t pretend otherwise. But today I’m overcome with gratitude for the people who showed up: in my life, at Prairiewoods and throughout our community. These lovelies are for YOU!

Friends you’ve missed: hanging out, catching up, cooking dinner (and dessert) over a campfire…what in life could be better on an Iowa summer Friday night? Last time I saw the Scheckel’s was a week or so post derecho. They were living in their camper in the driveway of their damaged home. A year later and so much has changed, even though their home repairs are still not finished. But some essentials - the things that matter most - don’t change. Here’s to appreciating the gift of good times with good friends! #derecho #friendship #lifesgifts
