From our yard recently, “sending” these blooms from our heart to @Kleen and @Weather_Rock_Wx, in gratitude for their June 2 and June 5 donations! How to donate, plus FAQs: https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations.

About those blooms: Learn what we frequently do with lavender, and why we bought special thread at Slow Fiber, Monterey—better still, see a Salinas bike commuter we met when she was en route there June 5, to help her friend / the owner in that shop. https://bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-17th-anniversary-edition.html

I shell peas
And nibble some
And think of springs past

I can’t claim full credit for this! The first sweet pea is flowering but it’s self-sown from a seed that dropped last year. Those I’ve sown are still only inches high.

Still, I’ll take it. Who cares how it arrived in the garden. It’s a taste of summer even though the weather has other ideas.
