Post-Rain Stroll With Me?


Turn left off the front porch

Stop to lay in the goldenrod, it's so soft...


turn right off the front porch and you'll picture this prize peony, I'm so proud of her...

At her feet, Stonecrop gathering rain droplets...


their next door neighbor is a Hollyhock reaching for the heavens, both will bloom come summer...


a pile of weeds minds its own business...


inside the secret passageway...


look up at the still life with hanging plant and newly clearing sky...


skip down the hill where everybody loves a flowering shrub...


random lone wildflowers amid the yarrow yet-to-bloom...





further down on "Sun Hill" the sunflowers are slowly rising up to meet their namesake...

back to the other end of Cicada Cottage Gardens is the wisteria alcove where wild kidlets play...


tucked around the corner, an empty pot (ludicrous!) guards garden stakes waiting to be called to use (soon)...


just behind them peas are just about to push their first blooms, which means...peas!


the potatoes are still green, which means they're still making potatoes (these are purple), don't harvest until that green is brown and grounded...


an unexpected love recently cropped up in my horticultural heart: ornamental grass, these make a border for my Euphorbia garden.


What a lovely stroll, let's do it again sometime.

Our sunflowers aren't nearly that tall, but they are growing.

Thanks for a lovely afternoon stroll.
