Surprise Lilies photo taken on 2/29/08.Bits of broken glass and pottery shards.
Multitudes of nails, a few horseshoes and numerous other rusty metal fragments.
Bulbs planted in random locations around the yard.
People have lived on our little plot of land for a long time.
We find tiny traces of their lives almost every time we dig
-- and, sometimes, after a hard rain.
It's impossible to know very much about the folks who lived here before us from the rusted and broken bits they left behind,
except we know that someone among the previous inhabitants liked flowers
and planted bulbs.
The location of the plants probably once fit into the overall layout of cabin, fences and outbuildings, but all those structures are long gone.
We still enjoy the flowers, though.
