HuMp DaY Haiku - Foxglove by the fence

Spires of bright purple

Sturdy, tall, pollen laden

Honey bees delight

I love this time of year in the garden. Foxglove and native Columbine are prolific and we sometimes even get nice weather too.  It's relaxing watching the bees busy gathering pollen. They probably wonder what that human is doing following them about the garden. :)

I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul. I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.

HuMp DaY Haiku - Fairy Bells

I've always wondered...

Why call this flower fox glove 

when they're fairy bells?

With the recent mostly-warm weather, the fox glove are coming into bloom. They grow taller and the blossoms open almost as we're watching. I love this time of year! 

I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim's Silly classes...  and decided as a challenge for myself, I'd continue.  In this process, I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul. 

I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.

Rock Garden

We redid the rock garden near the green house last year... and re-planted a bit of sedum. It went a bit crazy, crawling over the rocks, and is blooming beautifully this year. I love it!

We also have foxglove all about the yard. We never know for sure where it's going to re-seed itself, and sometimes move them out of the way. We didn't realize this one was going to be so big and left it where it was... next to the water faucet by the potting bench. It's six and half feet tall right now and growing. We just work around it.
