Peaceful scene of a small resort lake surrounded by manicured grass, trees, a walking bridge with slatted sides, and green shrubbery, with a tree-covered hill in the far background. Sunlight highlights a grove of trees & grass in the mid-distance on the far side of the lake. The sky is blue with white and gray billowing clouds. The foreground is gray asphalt of a driveway.

One wing of a bay window, partially covered in closed oak blinds, with a white wicker chair in front and three clusters of pink oleander blooms (from a volunteer plant) seen through the glass. A bit of the center window with closed blinds is on the left, and a small pillow on the chair shows an embroidered Eiffel Tower with the script, “My other house is in France.” The wall is very pale green, spotted with late-afternoon sunshine.

A Squat
Round
Glazed clay jar
With shades of jade and tourmaline
(And topped by a conical cap…)
Now holds the treasure of
My memories of
This summer’s sunny days
With stained-glass skies of blue & white,
-And hummingbirds
-And dragonflies
-And blooms of every color
-And squawking, screeching Jays…
All blessed by silken breezes
And solitude.

View of a street near the Place du Capitol in Toulouse, France. The image shows tall 16th century buildings in shades of brown, toast, red brick and muted orange, with tall, narrow shuttered windows, all surrounding a twisting, narrow road that skirts an elaborate marble fountain (seen only partly on the left frame). The street is of gray brick, and a couple of bright green garbage bins border some shrubs.

Despite their eagerness to bloom (too early) in March, my roses & other flowering plants have been reluctant for an encore, so I’m reposting their 2025 achievements. (The news is just too depressing & exhausting for an old lady, hence FLOWERS.) #Bloomscrolling #roses #gardening
