Addie planted the tomato plants right off my back porch and also a pepper plant and an oregano plant and until just the last few days they have been stymied somewhat, but seem to be taking off now. So I have been noticing many other wild and not so wild plants enjoying the limited sunshine, but are also now doing well. Adrienne also somehow started (last year I think)some orange/red poppies out at the front of my place along with the already yellow poppies that came up. She also planted a little artichoke plant last year and it is flourishing over in the Depello property. Anyway these are pictures of some of those plants and I tossed in a picture of Eddy sleeping as I load stuff on top of him as he carries on with his nap (I tease him relentlessly). Oh and I picked up a decent Kelty backpack yesterday on sale. I guess I just was loving the beauty of spring (never have paid much attention in the past) and all of the miracle of life all around (even Edd---in the last few days he has brought in 2 baby snakes, 2 lizards, and a bat--only the bat didn't survive; the rest I snuck away from him and put back outside).
Poppies and Iriss are beautiful (poppies close up tightly at night and then open up when the sun shines)
Addie planted this artichoke plant at the Depello's last year
(6" high then) 8 artichokes
on this one now
I'll wake up one morning with hops taking over
Hops working up back window
Eddy sleeping anyhow
Hops vines starting to cover the window
And My new Kelty backpac

these pictures are amazing! you really captured the beauty of those flowers well. The purple-flower picture is maybe my favorite - and the two poppy ones (open and close) illustrates how they do that - I didn't know that happened.
I wish I could join in this picture/flower festival of late spring! It's so nice that we live in beautiful California where we get to be filled up with colors and nature's diversity no matter the season. Nicely done daddy-o. Oh, and nice backpack. I'm gonna call you right now to ask about it
