She would have been 93 today….
Musings
Lilacs and lupines
Monday, 28 May 2012
Sooo excited to arrive in Luce County, and sooo excited to find both the lilacs and lupines in bloom—in spite of the drought…that was broken just after JCB finished getting the critical parts of the yard mowed.
All systems are operating normally, and our indoor invader count was one—a bat, poor thing.
Happy me

The energy and activity today…strolling, chatting, enjoying the sunshine from the shade…perspective-building, mostly. All good.
NOW we have a garden
Monday, 21 May 2012
Our persistent volunteer tomatoes are back, and we’re hoping for more of the golden pear mini-tomatoes from these (as you can see, they’re already blooming). This year, we also have some Thai basil that came back all on its own.
I added three pepper plants (various variants), a regular red tomato, Italian basil, and oregano, all from the Lowes nursery collection.
Breeze kicking up

The wind’s a-flurry and the TV meteorologists are showing maps with electric green and yellow and orange, and there’s talk of hail north and west of us. Hopefully, it’ll stay in someone else’s back yard, and not shred our azaleas—which are abloom in round two for this summer.
Shakin’ my head

I’m discombobulated. Morning low in the upper 50°F’s.
And, still, the weeds mock me from the “vegetable garden” plot. Note to self: leave coffee and attack weeds. Tomorrow.
Time marches, whether you’re paying attention or not

This year’s crop of Arum maculatum is fading; this photo is from 10 days ago. Delay seems to be my speed these days….
Breathe in

Not so delicate to gaze upon as the azaleas, yet the scent of the gardenias totally eclipses them.
