Mary, mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

Not with silver bells and cockleshells and pretty maids all in a row, but I prefer food with my flowers, don't you? And I can't complain about the growth -- it never ceases to amaze me once we reach summer solstice!

Thus far, we're enjoying lettuce, cherry tomatoes and snow peas, and it won't be long, God- and weather-willing, before we can start eating even more organic, 50-foot-diet vegetables. The squash are blooming, and it's just amazing how things change, even overnight. A garden is a good place to be this time of year, but if you don't have one, try a farmer's market because it's awesome too! Or visit me... I have more lettuce than I know how to handle! You've heard of crazy zucchini ladies...???

The wonder of pussy willows, and buds, and...

Today is a beautiful day. Shadow pup and I took a walk with camera, and I marveled at the re-emergence of new life. The pussy willows that were just fuzzy buds two weeks ago have turned into kitten tails.


Tiny leaves are coming out on some trees and bushes.


And a coyote was sunning himself on the edge of the ravine (but bolted when I took a step in his direction to try and snap a picture).


Spring is a wonderful season for noticing small -- and amazing -- things. What have you noticed today?
