The Kiffar Lily

The beautiful Kiffar Lily is Chang Chun City Flower. I have one these precious plants from there. It was a gift from a family member who has lived there his whole life. I have been watching carefully for a scape. When I was about to conclude it would not open this year due to a transplant I did last fall to my delight and amazement up popped a scape loaded with buds! Over the next few weeks it will bloom and fill the living room with the most wonderful color.

I texted China yesterday to share this with them.

So Good To Hear From Family There!


Last night I spoke to my sister-in-law in north east China. It was so good to hear her voice. We spoke through a long distance program on Lucy's lap top. I have a wonderful family in China! God bless them today! (or I should say tonight since there is a 12 hours difference.

Missing China This Fall

Each fall since 2005, either Lucy by herself or I with her have made the trip to China. This year neither of us are going. It feels like we should be there. It feels like something is missing. We miss our family there. Thankfully there s the phone to keep in touch. We hold them in our heart. Warm memories arise in autumn, for it was then in 2005, I first set my feet on the land of China and left part of my heart there.
