There is a flower that Bees prefer-- And Whatsoever Insect pass-- Her face be rounder than the Moon She doth not wait for June-- Contending with the Grass-- And when the Hills be full-- Her Public—be the Noon-- The Bravest—of the Host-- How well Miss Dickinson knew her flowers! I love how she wrote so lovingly about the commonest wildflowers that many would not even notice. My clover are looking a little ragged after the cold and rain we've had this past week (we saw our first snow flurries and sleet Saturday!) but like the poem says, they don't even seem to be aware of defeat!
I'm joining Cathy at rambling in the Garden today for IAVOM. You can visit her blog to see all the lovely flower arrangements shared today! Have a great week! 😊

Lovely! We have only had one light frost so far. But I just picked the rest of the tomatoes and put them under cover just in case!

They are still going strong. I found a few seed pods on the ground yesterday and brought them in. There was also several with splits showing and dried spikey points. I brought them in also. Leave a Reply. |
