Sorry for the somewhat short posts the past few days but my allergies are misbehaving and I feel as if I’m in a fog most of the time. I slept a heck of a long time last night, so I guess my body knows it needs some extra sleep.
But gosh darn it, it’s beautiful around here right now. All the wild roses are blooming, wildflowers are everywhere, humidity-free days, gentle breezes…it’s quite lovely. But we are going to get some rain and thunderstorms later today and then a couple more days of rain later in the week. Bring it on; it will rein in the pollen.
The yarrow that self-seeds in the corral. It started happening a couple of years ago. The yarrow sprang up in two patches on either side of the path the dogs used to use. It still does. I love it – masses of white flowers.
Wild roses are everywhere.
They’re so lovely and the scent lingers in the air.
Soon they’ll revert back to what they are 99% of the time – prickly brambles. But at this moment in time I love them and I forgive them for all the little nicks they’ve given me over the years.
Oh, forgot to tell you! Remember the honey bees that used to live in the catalpa tree? Well, after an absence of several years, they’re back. We’re very happy they’re here.
Okay, my friends. I’m off to make some oatmeal.
Stay safe.
Happy Tuesday.
hope you feel better soon. and that the rain will help tamp down the pollen.
good news about the bees returning and yarrow, roses, rain, oatmeal and more sleep, too … glad you have and enjoy it all.
each day i make a list of things i need and want to do. today’s list is short and i am glad about that. :)
happy tuesday. stay safe!

Thank you, Kathy. Have a good day.
Stay safe.
Your yarrow looks like the plants that have come up in my gardens but mine are yellow. I have always wondered if they were a weed but I have let them grow because they look good! Thanks for sharing yours with me!
Yarrow can be yellow as well, so that’s probably what you have. Leave the seed heads over the winter – the birds will eat them.
Stay safe.
We just got done with several days of rain….and it was/is most welcome. Everything looks so green and lush right now….hope it lasts. Your yarrow and wild roses are lovely. It’s nice that you have the property to let it grow wild. I’ve often thought of sectioning off a garden in our backyard, and just plant wildflower seeds. Maybe one of these days.
Glad to here your honey bees are back, too. Enjoy your day! ;)
We are lucky that way – there’s enough space here to let certain areas be wild.
Stay safe, Donnamae.
Oh my, that yarrow is lovely! And the bees have returned! How wonderful. I’m having all sorts of allergy issues today (this week) but at least I know what it is!
Oh my, they’ve been terrible this spring! Hope you feel better soon, Jeanie.
Stay safe.
