My lavender is blooming (see above photo)! Hip hip hooray! I have never had the good luck of having this fragrant herb bloom. I feel like I am in Provence. Every time I glance towards the blooms I silently cheer and feel flat out giddy. There is certainly great joy in gardening. When other perennials come out, like these cone flowers, I feel like I am seeing old friends. Isn't their color gorgeous? I would love a dress with those colors! Lamentably, my hydrangeas, the most showy and fabulous of all blooms (in my opinion) have decided to sleep through this season. I think I need to fertilize them. Otherwise, we have been eating tons of lettuce, some sweet peas and one squash (so far) from the garden. My tomatoes are green and growing and I have lots of tomatillos that look to be on the way. Boy am I amazed at what comes from seeds, dirt, sun and water. Makes me really appreciate God's creativity and constant act of creation.
