Sighhhhh...Sweet Peas. Not summer without them. This year, the season has been so slowwwww. Everything dragging out. Roses six weeks late. Sweet peas a no show, till two days ago....
"The flower is a tethered butterfly..." -Ecouchard LeBrun
"What you discover about life's shell game is that it's hardest to follow the pea, when you're the pea!"-Robert BreaultMeanwhile, the "Bee Hotels" are about six to seven feet tall. Just starting to bloom. Their flowers look like yellow daisies. Rent is cheap. The bees flock to them...
If you're really early in the morning, you will find bees sleeping inside the flowers. You can even stroke their fuzzy bodies. They are so drunk with pollen, they won't even stir."When the flower blossoms, the bee will come..." -Srikumar Rao
"Here's an idea....let's get over ourselves. Go buy a cherry pie and enjoy life!" -Tom Robbins
"A lily or a rose never pretends...and its beauty is that it IS..."
-Jiddu Krishnamurti
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old....
If anyone asks, say it was forgotten, long and long ago....
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall...in a long forgotten snow.." -Sara Teasdale
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose, that makes it so important..."
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"Here are sweet peas , on tiptoe for a flight; with wings of gentle flush, over delicate white....
And taper fingers catching at all things.....to bind them all about with tiny rings...."- John Keats
Sighhhhhh.....and then there were the Sweet Peas of 2021. So many ,my grandmother's vase was overflowing........so I stare at the photo and count my sweet peas to date. One. Two. Three.......am hoping for four.......
