Ringing in Spring
Tuesday, 3 June 2008
I have always enjoyed these delicate blooms, like white mini-church-bells decorating a garden at ankle level.

Before the afternoon got too hot this afternoon, we sat out on the patio and watched this chipmunk, who was engrossed in chipmunk-business even in this unplanted flowerpot.

Ready! Set! Go! Beat the birds to the ripe berries! The first ones are ready for picking today….

Sunday, 1 June 2008
I can’t remember the last time I laid on my back in the grass and watched the clouds drift by. This morning, after planting pepper plants and cucumber seeds, was the perfect time for this indulgence.
