Six on Saturday

Sun Shower Stock Photo – Image of water, spray: 78804172

My grandmother used to chuckle that the Devil was beating his wife when the sun comes out during a rain shower. That’s not what was happening here this morning, however. It was the interplay of light and shadow through showers from my oscillating sprinkler. This new oscillator covers quite a wide area from the back garden fence where the fleece flower is just coming into bloom . . .

Persicaria Polymorpha Giant White Fleece Flower

. . . all the way to the courtyard, too. It is 7:30, plenty of time for the cushions and pillows to dry out; the fabric is “Sunbrella.” I am drinking Starbucks “Caramel” coffee. Not sure I like it, but it was the only one left on the shelf. Later I’ll do a bit of shopping to replenish the kitchen pantry and, of course, buy more plants . . .

Boston Fern – Curly Willow will be set into the blue urn planter 

Pink Geraniums for Clay Pots

 Tahitian Bridal Veil (Gibasis geniculata)

Hidcote English Lavender

When all is said and done, I’ll “plant” little American flags on wooden sticks into a pot of flowers for Memorial Day / Flag Day / Independence Day.
