It's raining. Rain feels good after a long bout of sunshine. I was a bit disappointed that I had to be watering some of my plants this early, so I'm happy to receive this rain.
Baby pea plants are as cute as any baby in the animal kingdom. Mine look fabulous.
I had a chance this weekend to open my home to a friend who seemed to need some uplifting. It feels wonderful to serve beyond my everyday chores.
So far, for my garden, I have bought phlox, dahlias, clematis, astilbe, and black columbine. I am often surprised at how strongly I feel the need to make pretty things. Then I wonder why that seems wrong. Must be my inner child.
