We need to talk about how Edgar has been sitting exactly here, exactly like this, staring under the kitchen stove since dark o'clock this morning. No motion except for the occasional tail twitch. And by talk about it, I mean determine where I'm going to live now if there's something under there.

This beauty opened today. The variety is "Batik" as I recall. She's just a baby still, planted two summers ago. Purple flowers will always be my favorite. 🌱💜

I assure you that I had a completely reasonable and measured* response when the purple irises 🌱 opened this week.
*clasping hands together in delight, racing out the back door for a sniff, possibly squealing and terrifying the local wildlife, I don't know it was all such a blur

Will the neighbors hear me talking to the sweet peas 🌱 and question my sanity? Perhaps. But I grew these babies from seed and they seem to thrive on accolades.

Zinnia report. Day 21. 🌱
Last night was supposed to be our last frost so very soon I will be able to set these out, which is good because, with the exception of a couple that just didn't take off, they are bursting out of their containers. 🌻

This white hyacinth traveled across the yard and planted itself in a pile of leaves and several years worth of collected tree branches, where it bloomed this spring. At some point I'll transplant it to the garden but for now, here amongst the debris and detritus, it's giving me hope. 🌱
