and with it so has the pollen, followed by lots of rain

what beautiful lush green is everything – the grass, the cherry tree’s leaves, the moss in the pond and the irises stems, the large quantities of mint and a rhododendron bush that exploded with pink blossoms

our pond with its frogs and lilies, and a photo from a few years ago when a momma bear and her cubs decided to walk through and destroy a bird feeder

so very grateful am I to live in a little house with a beautiful backyard and a garden of mint, strawberries, spinach, tomatoes and squash on the way!
