More blossoms & bees!
Milkweed with a honeybee.
Zinnia and a happy yellow pear—thanks to my friend Jerry for those plants.
And I followed a bumblebee as it visited my pink penstemon.

July! Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, plants are growing and we even have a (very green) tomato!

Green eggs and spinach for breakfast this snowy, St. Patrick’s Day.
I already love the color green, so I have a fair bit of it around.
And yes, the eggs are from are hens. The spinach isn’t yet, but it’s good to have goals, right?

As a gardener, I love growing sunflowers. One seed grows in a hearty—and sometimes massive—plant. And I leave the plants up all winter because the seeds feed the wild birds.
I’m sharing this with you because Ukraine’s national flower is the sunflower. The sunflower is resilient and productive, even in the winter.
I’m sharing my late winter/early spring sunflowers in support of Ukraine—and as a reminder that Ukraine, like it’s national flower, is strong and resilient!

One more good use for eggs & tomatoes: scrambled eggs with a little cream cheese and a thick slice of tomato on a toasted everything bagel.
In the background is most of the remaining tomatoes, harvested ahead of an approaching freeze.
