Easter Lily.

I bought some lilies to decorate my house. I put them in a vase with some nice cool water and waited for the blooms to open.

And waited.

And waited.

I thought surely they would open for the party at my house, but when I went to bed that night after the party they were still closed tight.

Not sharing their beauty with anyone.

Easter morning I was up with the sun and when I opened the blinds in the dining room there they were.

Like they had waited for Easter morning to share their loveliness!

What a wonderful way to start an Easter morning!
