The gulfside pool is one of the attractions at Margaritaville Beach Hotel.
Daylilies are so much more than a pretty flower y daylilies are finally blooming! Their orange blossoms are reaching toward the sky as they Mplay the role of a floral torch among the sea of green foliage. Some of the flowers seem to be hovering in mid air as their stems are lost amidst the backdrop of other landscaping. They are simply gorgeous and I enjoy their colorful addition as I drink my coffee each morning. I am grateful for their presence in my yard and in my life. As I think about it, these flowers speak to my life: ■ They were a gift. I am so grateful for Jack and Martha Davis who shared them with me. The Davis yard was full of flowers that multiplied so much that they need- ed to “thin out” their beds. The result was several trash bags full of daylilies that went to the preacher. They did- n’t charge me for them. They were a gift. In the same way, the flowers share their blooms without a toll or tax. They give freely for any observer to appreciate. We could learn from them and all be a little more giving. ■ I can not make them bloom. Once all the hard work of planting was done and all the nut-grass pulled, I began to watch for a bud. Nothing. I water them and keep the beds weeded, but I can not make them bloom. No matter what I do, I can not force a flower to bloom. You know, People’s choice there are things in life that just take their own sweet time. Maybe you are a late bloomer. Maybe your ship hasn’t come in. Maybe we are not in control. These flowers are Visitors rave about Margaritaville’s service a constant reminder that we don’t get to call all the shots. ■ Waiting makes them more beautiful.

(ARA) Summer isn’t just the season of baseball, barbecues, vacation and fresh produce. It’s also flag season. Three of the country’s most important patriotic holidays - Memorial Day, Flag Day and Independence Day - arrive with summer, and across the nation proud Americans will show their patriotism by displaying the American Flag. But will they do it properly? “Fewer symbols inspire more patriotism and pride than the American Flag, and displaying it is a wonderful way to show respect not only for our country, but for all those in uniform who have defended it throughout our history,” says Larry Singleton, decor manager for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, which displays an American Flag beside the fireplace in every restaurant. “Honoring our nation’s Flag Code guidelines can make the display of the flag an even more poignant and patriotic gesture.” The federal law known as the “Flag Code” establishes a guide for handling and displaying Old Glory. If you’ll be showing your American pride this year by displaying the flag or decorating with bunting, here’s a thumbnail review of the code’s guidelines so you can be confident in all you do: ■ It’s OK to display the flag ‘round the clock, but you should illuminate it during nighttime hours.
