Week 7 Berries and Flowers

Sunflower smiley face.

Chris, Lisa, and Mary are productive pickers. Lots of stories are told in the blueberry bushes. A glorious day.

Red and orange beets.

Colorful radishes.

Sweet onions.

Curly kale.

Flat leave kale.

A bountiful cart full of nutritious food.

Lunch time. Iced coffee time, too.

Anna made a delicious "fresh from the garden" pasta salad. Only the olives, feta, and pasta weren't picked just then. Soooo good. 

A variety of peppers.

Dad planted many roses that Mom loved.

Such a clear white rose. Delicate looking.

Many colors: yellow-orange-tangerine-melon.

This rose seemingly changes
color before your eyes.

Sometimes looking white, sometimes
looking yellow on the inner petals.

Even the bee is treading lightly on the
delicate rose. This one has a yellow blush to it.

Old fashioned roses, what a fragrant beauty.

So many pretties.

Yarrow to the left, foxglove at the
bottom, join in with the roses.

This rose is almost is too perfect to look real. 

Dad loved sweet peas. The backyard always smelled delicately scented. These are from seeds
we saved last fall from plants he planted last summer.

Memories.
Roses, butterfly bush and another flower we haven't
been able to identify. Little surprises keep popping up. 


Roses and Chinese Astilbe.

4 boxes heading home. A wonderfully fragrant car.

Sweet peas nestled in with lavender, kale and chives.

Guess what? An actual butterfly on a butterfly bush.

A butterfly bush has a tubular flower, perfect for the build of a butterfly. This one snacked for several minutes. I was thrilled!
