However, as some wise person once said (actually about peonies, but it's the same principle): if blooms that magnificent were around all year, you'd get tired of them and their novelty would wear off... <br /><br />I love the constant handover from one flush of flowers to the next, right through the season till we get to high summer - as Agnes below said, it's almost the turn of the lilacs!

I was a pleasant, nonthreatening child! How could I know that small horse sized geese were protective of their lake? And that rooster must've thought I had eggs in my grocery bag when he rushed out of his yard to attack me!<br />If it weren't for me falling in love thirty years ago with my best friend's blue streaked lory, I'd still be afraid of all birdkind.<br /><br />Carebear, both sentiments are true. I just have more enthusiasm for one over the other. I'm not saying which, but I don't eat duck.Deedleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17220174067034720943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-75510450915589376142018-04-16T09:02:15.497-04:002018-04-16T09:02:15.497-04:00We can't wait to see the portrait, you immorta...We can't wait to see the portrait, you immortalized for all the world to see.

A block without one was more the exception than the rule.<br /><br />I just realized last spring, that they seem to have disappeared. No explanation, just gone. And then this year, I was on the lookout for them and, sure enough, I didn't see a single one.
