Last summer, I planted two pots of lilium. I was disappointed, but not surprised, when they apparently died before the end of summer. We live in a very harsh climate, and I am mildly astonished when plants survive both the conditions and my lackadaisical care. This spring I thought “that’s a pretty weed” then realized the lilium had come back. This is the red variety that I planted; the white variety has buds that have not yet opened. Isn’t it gorgeous?

A Year of Slow Cooking: CrockPot Salsa Chicken Recipe: tasty and simple. I used three chicken breasts, but next time I will use two breasts and double the amount of remaining ingredients. Left over chicken salsa worked great as a layer in quesadillas.
