Hooray for Spring

I’m so glad it’s finally spring. Rob and I have been harvesting spinach and cabbage and planting peppers and tomatoes and reveling in the scent of wild azaleas. The picnic table is covered with pollen, and the columbine is blooming, and there are catbirds “meowing” in the hedges. I’m trying to do a little gardening every night after work in order to catch up on my weeding. I do a lot of gazing as I weed. I’ve been seeing loads of hummingbirds.

Swiss chard in the sun is even prettier than stained glass.

Chard in the shade is nice too. 

I just love those hot pink stems.

Isn’t this dress a spring-y color? It’s not quite as nice as the chard, I guess, but it’s still pretty good.
