Well there are the obvious spelling and pronunciation issues, but also in part because we think lilies are the most beautiful flowers. These lovely Stargazers from my mom were on our dining room table when we arrived home last Saturday:
And these lovely lilies arrived UPS from my dear college friends, A*nne and A*lexa, on Wednesday:
However, as beautiful as these lilies are, I would like to quote my mom's dear friend, Myra, who is like an aunt to me, regarding lilies. She sent a picture of lilies from her garden (and boy does she know how to grow lilies), and wrote this:
"these are my lilies - yours are better."
Once again, Myra's wisdom rings true. She is truly better than any flower that has ever bloomed. Hope to see her soon.
