"ditch" lillies

I am usually a law abiding citizen--but lately I have had the overwhelming desire to throw a shovel in my trunk, and stop along the road to dig up some of the lovely bright orange day lillies that abound in the ditches and roadside....problem is , they probably belong to someone, even if they look abandoned.

I need some, as they seem very durable. Obviously they are not especially tasty, as the deer have not mowed them down. They also abound in ditches, so must not need much care. I happen to like them.

My boss has some she doesn't want--so I may be legally getting some ditch lillies!! Yipeeee!

Probably a bad idea




I am planning to dye yarn for some socks with koolaide...have read all about the techniques, done the math, searched the web. Hard to find the "right" colors--now I am ready---is probably more trouble than it will be worth. Stay tuned!
