In case you haven't noticed

We've had a lot of rain, a lot of rain in the past two days. The ground is soggy, green is the color of the day and blooms are everywhere. I've realized again I have a lot of white blooms among the shades of purple, some planted, some simply the blossoms of wild things. Maybe it's time for some more variety when I get back. I think so.

And then there is this succulent that someone gave me years ago (sorry, I forget who - if it was you please remind me!) It goes through stages of being happy and near death but somehow comes back again and again. I can tell when it is happy because it decorates itself with little balls of celebration.

It's been a good time to be home doing chores for going away. And by the way, I haven't gone yet: I keep being welcomed back when I do show up in town, reaffirming my belief in the cart equation. Cart gone, MJ gone. Hold on, I'm leaving pretty soon, really!

Laurie just sent me a list of the hot peppers she's ordered for us to grow...about a zillion kinds. Really. While frost got a few of her other early veg plantings, it appears that I won't be without serious garden time, and that is a good thing. Gardening in Maine. Bring it on...whatever part of the adventure that means, it will be some familiar in the unknown.

Have a total Tuesday! Do something tropical.
