Hey friends!

I'll be able to forage #blackberries soon! Maybe next week... maybe a couple weeks after. There are two varieties in my area, and the climbing one (smaller bushes, harder to forage more than a handful) are wonderful. The larger variety (stands tall all year) still looks green.

Took a slightly different route for today's walk, and found some new flowers I haven't seen there before. Hope these spark some joy in your life.

(edit: I added the names of the flowers, thanks!)

It has rained on and off all day today and now that evening is upon us it is cleared up

The Spiraea xcinerea ‘Grefsheim’, which I planted almost to the day a year ago, is doing really well and seems to love, where I planted it. In this photograph it poses with a group of daffodils.
