It is a modest harvest, but a welcome one. Some eggs for breakfast, and some basil to make pesto, all gathered from the yard.

I took a bunch of photos of flowers as I toured the meadow. The one that cracks me up is the purple thistle growing through the deer statue’s haunch. I really like the look of the purple thistles, reminds me of Scotland.




I didn’t realize that bluebonnets form seed pods like peas. Hm.

Precipitously, the pepper plants may produce plentiful peppers from peeking pea-like protuberances. I hope pesky pests don’t purloin the precious produce preemptively. Perhaps precaution proclaims protection for the pretty potential peppers.
P.S. I couldn’t help myself, but will attempt not to recite the verse where popping “p”s or flying spittle can reach anyone. I am particularly pleased with this post.

Here are some flowers for you for May Day that are near my front porch. There is an arbor in there somewhere. I can’t drop them off on your doorstep, and we don’t have smell-a-vision yet, but this year you would be grateful as the scent is overpowering. Being socked in the face with a bouquet of flowers isn’t very neighborly. Lol. These are predominantly Japanese Honeysuckle, the red blooms poking through are native honeysuckle. I really need to get out and thin down the mound.
We planted one Gregg’s Mist Flower in the front garden. We tried a different variety of mist flower previously, but they didn’t take well, and didn’t attract butterflies. These are growing well and nearly every time I walk by, I see a butterfly! Hurray!

I believe the butterfly visiting in the photo is a Painted Lady butterfly.
