Plants

Summertime

Officially, but not exactly.  Happy belated Solstice!  A few more days, and the school year is over.  Today is a lazy day, and you get a lazy post to match.  I’m ready for summer, and so is Flower Child.

Speaking of flowers, remember those seeds we planted?  First blooms!

Nasturtium

Morning glories taking over--but no buds yet.  The vines are now taller than I am.

Apparently my farming skills are on par with my photography skills; sometimes I’ll hit, mostly I won’t.  Still, I’m dreaming of a garden.  Flowers and veggies and fruit trees, oh my!

We haven’t gone on vacation in a long time, no plans to vacation this summer either, but we are planning on some day trips.  We talk about doing this every year, and then budget, timing, illness, all kinds of not fun things get in the way.  And the beach.  The call of the beach is normally louder than anything else for me.  But this year I believe we will venture out a bit.  Of course there will be beach days, but there’s something new, some part of me that wants to check out greenery outside of the confines of the New York Botanical Gardens.

Sending good thoughts and peace to my cyber friends dealing with these horrible floods in Canada.  Be safe!
