The goldfinches have gleaned many of the seeds out of this sunflower head in our front yard.

Sparkles
A spider web sparkles in the morning sun.
Harvest
Our garlic is in, forty five bulbs worth. That is enough to plant this fall and have plenty to use in cooking well into, if not all the way through, winter. While probably not enough to be completely self sufficient, it is enough to reduce our dependence on store bought garlic.
Striking
Dianthus, in bloom.
Intrigued
The hibiscus bloom featured yesterday also intrigued Fitzi.
Burst
A Redbud tree burst into so much colour it was almost impossible to focus on one set of flowers.
Shelter
Violets shelter in shade, trying to avoid oppressive late May heat.
Gaily
Forget-Me-Nots gaily fill a small space between a sidewalk and concrete foundation.
Soon.
Spring will be here soon and our seed order arrived today. Radishes, several different lettuce varieties, snow peas. Buckwheat to sow in the half of the vegetable garden that will lay fallow this year. Flowers including many natives to sow this fall, replacing a good good portion of the turfgrass in the front yard.
Flourishes
Mere centimeters from well below zero C temperatures, this African violet flourishes on the windowsill above the sink.
