Nothing here is in a hurry. There is no rush toward accomplishment, no blowing of trumpets. Here is the great mystery of life and growth. Everything is changing, growing, aiming at something, but silently, unboastfully, taking its time. ~ Ruth StoutRoses and Lilacshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comBlogger15125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641867746157798839.post-25645804140958020642015-05-28T10:25:36.719-05:002015-05-28T10:25:36.719-05:00You have such a peaceful place there, Marnie.

I don't look there everyday unfortunately. The Indigo Bunting is beautiful. I only saw them a few times in our area. We do get all the birds and butterflies that you have on your sidebar. You take wonderful photos.

I've never had an indigo bunting visit my garden.

And your camassias look great - I planted some once but I don't think they ever came up (either that or I didn't recognize them as NOT a weed and ripped them out -- it's possible, you know...).
