Bloom

I overslept this morning. I’ve had a lot on my mind that made it hard to get to sleep and stay asleep.

Here’s a picture of the first bud which appeared yesterday in our front garden bed.

On a whim we planted wildflowers from seeds this year. But we got going rather late, so we weren’t sure what would happen. We’ve had a lot of growth, but no sign of flowers.

Summer is over. We figured it was probably too late for flowers. But maybe we’ll get some just the same.

I could really use something beautiful in all the local ugliness.
