"...the loveliest day lilies were sold there..."

.

Almost two decades ago my dad mail ordered some live daylilly
plants from Arkansas. (Might have been the same place.)
They were beautiful!

The local white-tailed deer population thought that the 'Snow Blizzard'
variety of the daylillies were quite tasty as well.

But the deer only ate the Snow Blizzard variety.
They left all of the other types alone. Weird.

pg 105 - photo looking eastward - the still “ancient road” in appearance, from Jerusalem, past the Garden of Gethsemane and then uphill to the Mount of Olives

pg 106 - photo looking north-northeast - showing in the upper left quadrant, the eastern half of the City of David, that descended from the southern wall of the old (but not ancient) City of Jerusalem

This fills me with wonder, to see that. Thank you for the ping.

These look great-I am going to check them out when I get home-I just watched the one on King David’s Tomb, and that was really interesting, so...thank you!
