One year, we bought an Easter Lily that had lived in a store for awhile. The shape showed how it reached for light. A nice memory, to bring the plant home, and watch it bloom.

GARDEN TEA PARTY
Listen to the leaves
of robin song
spill into the rain:
parched dreams expanding
and staining the
long afternoon with
poignant fragrances:
blending past and
hope with vibrant joy.

Photos and Notes
These are two more photos by Karl yesterday.
We went to the Good As New Resale Shop in Cedar Grove, and then walked on a new-for-me part of the Sheboygan Interurban Trail.
Garden journal note: we saw snowdrops in our yard yesterday. I took this photo in April 2016.

Peonies – early July 2018
In August 2012, I bought these flowers at Festival Foods in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The photo is by Karl. Wonderful how beauty can last in another way with blog posts.
