Harebells (Campanula rotundofolia) in the grass in the park. These little blue charmers grow in so many places, prairie to mountainside.

A look at the Giving Garden at the P-Patch: it has really been cleaned up a lot, thanks to tireless volunteers. I see many young people 💪👍. Last year it was a bunch of old codgers just puttering along. Lots of chard! Potatoes! Kale! I think the potatoes will be liked by almost everyone.

A month ago, I took this photo of some interestingly colored dogwood flowers, and wondered if they would turn pink. They did! And white too. And the pointy bracts filled out and are all rounded.

The linden trees are getting ready to bloom, another treat for all the bees. What a bonanza of perfume we've had lately: roses, privet, mock orange, lilac, azaleas, just a delight.

Gosh, the sun is already hot hot hot. Fortunately I have already walked Monty, watered the garden, and picked peas and lettuce. The tomatoes may finally set fruit (hope hope).
