" It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all."
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Here are some sweet, simple things in my life today:
a columbine with exquisite color
irises blooming along the picket fence
the bridal wreath spirea bending toward the light 
a lovely contrast between the flower and the leaf
honeysuckles full of beauty
The columbine is exquisite.
ReplyDelete*sigh* Beautiful! How do you keep bugs from eating your flowers? Whatever I do, bugs seem to ruin mine.
ReplyDeleteordinary jane- funny you should mention that. Right after we took pictures we started seeing aphid on a shrub. We pinch them off when we can.

ReplyDeleteacs: we are in a mild "banana belt" here on Lake Roosevelt. Longer growing season than Moscow. These irises get lots of morning sun. The rest aren't blooming.
Very nice!
