Today’s theme is: white
Today, Uncle B had his heart set on a white agapanthus, so we drove up and down the county until we found one. What it is to wed a gardener.
Everything was white. I’ve never seen such a profusion of mayflowers. The hedges were dazzling. Mayflower could be any of the hundreds of shrubs or trees in the Crataegus family: hawthorn, quickthorn, thornapple, may-tree, whitethorn, mayflower. We have several.
Then there was Queen Anne’s lace and English daisies.
And the sheep! Leave us not forget the lambs, which were born at the beginning of April and are rowdy teenagers now, in sheep terms.
It was stunning.
May is the blessedest month. Good thing it’s my birthday month.
