June morning

It's so fine to step outside barefoot,without a sweater, and get started right away. On most mornings,this means just wandering around in wonder and amazement.for awhile.

The backyard is not big, but the cherry tree doesn't seem to mind.

The blackbirds and squirrels .are ready to pounce!

Woad is bold in every stage. The large seeds are colorful, with hints of purple and green.
