A good rain does wonders for the garden. Is there anything more simply wonderful than sleeping the night away with rain on a tin roof the background noise of our dreams, and then waking to a sunny garden, petals all covered in glistening drops?
I woke to such a garden this morning. I love the garden as a whole, but I think it’s my admiration for each little individual flower that keeps me filled with wonder.
This wild onion bloom looks other-worldy. I can’t bear to pull it. I won’t pull it. I think it has value, even in the midst of my Jupiter’s beard and tall phlox.
The tiny lavender blooms on the lambs ear are starting to show.
Today I am invited to lunch with a dear friend. I can hardly wait to catch up and talk plants and homeschooling (yes, she homeschools) and just everything. I always like to hear her perspective on things.
I’ll hopefully have some more pictures later. I’m planning a plant-shopping trip today and a thrift store stop after lunch with my friend.

I love looking at the mountains a few weeks after a good rain. They are always so green and lush. have fun shopping.
Can’t wait to see more photos.
The garden is indeed getting full. I am so thankful for the rain. It’s wonderful after last year’s drought.
