Pink Lily flowers in summer!

It is the first time since three years while living in our cottage, I noticed the pink lilies weathering the summer heat and continue the blossoming!

The climate change with temperature touching 42 degree celsius is uncommon for us in our village, perhaps it is an intense summer in 39 years if the paper reports are dependable!

So the Lilies also have adapted. Daffney goes under her kennel and spends most of her daytime lying on the cool floor. A few weeks back she discarded her mattress from her cane bed. For Dulce it is the first summer. Her place of rest and play during the day is the bath room. She takes her toys and belongings to the bath room and spends her day in a cool ambience. 

But the Lilies although is under some shade during the part of the day, are exposed to the intense heat of the day. Its colour and freshness remain intact inspite of this.

It is a good lesson to ponder over- the adverse circumstances bring the best out of us! It is no virtue to create an adverse circumstance, but it is graceful to receive it when it occurs because something better or promising is concealed in it!
