Amy and Perry Mask and children, Josh and Juston, spent Memorial Day in Sandestin, Fla. They had a wonderful holiday enjoying the beach!

Saturday morning, a group of us travelled out to Shepherd’s Daylily Farm. If you have never been out there, it is truly an amazing sight to see. When you pull around the corner, colors abound, row after row, in such brilliance. Once you arrive, the workers hand you a “booklet,” which lists each daylily they have, the size, row, color and price. I had gotten on their website, www.dayliliesonline.com and thought I had picked the ones I wanted from seeing the magnificent blooms online. I think I added about 10 more varieties to my list, once I arrived!

Richard Williamson is the owner of the farm and takes great pride in his offerings, as he should! There is certainly something for everyone, from daylilies to hostas to even thornless blackberry bushes!

They are open every weekend in June. If you have never been and need some color for your yard, it is worth the short drive down Old Highway 78. Even if you do not need any plants, it is certainly worth it to go out and view the gorgeous flowers that are all in bloom!
