Unexpected Bloom
I looked up this morning to notice that an orchid from Trader Joe’s from before the pandemic, decided to bloom.

By the time I turned
Back towards home from the river
The clouds were all gone.

Garlic chives, arugula, parsley. Note that the garden has been reconfigured to allow room for distanced visiting.

The wind is rattling things and doing some wailing.

This morning I walked up to Cultivate the City with a neighbor. I am going to try more fruit this year–I found a spot for a passion fruit vine; I will put strawberry towers on the sleeping porch; I may put in a golden raspberry; the Concord grape is looking promising. Meanwhile, around the neighborhood, the cherry trees are in full blossom.
