to describe how stressed I am right now and how badly I have needed spring break to be here for well over a month. Even if I could somehow express it, I am too sick of typing things and staring at screens to bother. However, everything isn’t terrible, and some things have been making me smile lately:
The tulips have come and gone.
And they were beautiful while they lasted.
- Thanks to the previous owners and their strange ideas about flower placement, mystery plants are popping up all over the backyard.
I'm not complaining, but I might relocate them to more logical places once they've finished blooming.
While I can't manage to keep a maidenhair fern alive inside, this one seems to be doing just fine without my help.
These tiny white flowers smell a lot like wisteria and have taken over the back fence.
Loquats (what I've been calling Japanese plums) are ripe now, and they are messy and delicious.
Baby blueberries
Baby blackberries
Baby raspberries
(And spring break, if you happen to be reading this, please hurry the hell up.)
Put a little spring in your step, sister! Next week will come soon enough.
P.S. all these plants are beautiful!
Yo gurl, dem flowrs b prettty.
Those tiny white flowers on your fence = confederate jasmine. Confederate jasmine is maybe my #1 favorite thing about living in the South, and I have some growing on a trellis in my back patio area.
Thanks Jessica! Now that I know, I might buy some more. They are pretty wonderful!
