FLOWERS AT THE VICARAGE 6-17-25

Posted on by under Photography

It has been a rainy week and we are at the very tail end of a wet spring. It has made everything green and lush. The flowers are blooming.

The Lupine has almost passed.

The chives are a new addition to the garden. I bought them at the strawberry festival this weekend.
The bishop’s weed is putting in an appearance throughout the forest garden.
As is the red and white clover.
The main fragrance of the garden right now is rose, but that will soon be swallowed up by the honeysuckle scent of Japansk, which I imagine will go into flower by the end of the week. 

What’s blooming in your neighborhood?

Thinking Into Spring As I Listen To Nathalie Stutzmann

Stutzmann sings”Ebarme Dich”.

I think into Spring.

Her wrists like rainbows

Rise and bend with rhythm

An aria stretching the skies

With sorrow.

That price of hope

Is the last supper of explanations,

A call to cloister to hide away,

To hide the seed

On warmish nights when frost could still fall.

So what was can die

And what will be,

Can be what is.

Does the song make me grieve,

At all

This loss of what was cold?

The winter of discontent?

No.

That is a mercy.

This is Spring.
