zinnias

I took this picture with my iPhone.  The last few weeks have been filled with vacation, family visits and a wedding.  It's been wonderful!  It feels like summer!!  Our gardens are bursting with flowers and produce.  And they are needing some attention this week!

Grace and Peace,

pitcher's thistle

We just returned from a great vacation up north.  Pure Michigan!  I got interested in the wildflowers up there and these endangered thistles were along the boardwalk leading to a quiet perfect beach.

borage

It is common to have garden plot neighbors give each other plants.  Maryann gave me a borage plant from her garden.  I planted it with my herbs and may make some tea from it's leaves.  I read that it was known as 'the herb of gladness'.....

Grace and Peace,
