Waiting It Out

Early this morning in the rain I spied my beans, zucchini, and corn just barely poking out of the soil.  Just a few hours later, they’ve doubled in size and quantity.  My “salad bar” bed and flower seedlings are also progressing.  This cool rain is just what the plant doctor ordered.

Happily, I think my passiflora (native passion flower) is finally coming up, which I’m excited about.  In fact, many seeds I was losing hope in seem to be germinating after all.  Once again, nature demonstrates persistence and resilience, if we just be patient.  Much like waiting out a deadly pandemic and not jumping to hasty conclusions.

Here is yesterday evening in a sunshower; I was hoping for a rainbow shot, but I missed it.

And your daily dose of flowers, including a good one of the native columbine, which not only survived, but multiplied.
