So far, so fast
The two white-flowered plants out front have decided to pop at the same time. And they got high and thick this year. Nature.
Welcome, Black-eyed Susans
The Black-eyed-Susans that sit between our house and the neighbors have said hello for this year’s flourish. It is comforting, this staggered arrival.
Now that’s a pretty moon
