The remnants of a wild meadow by my house, skirting a new nursing care development:
The first flowers of spring/summer: dandelions, grape hyacinth, violets. Later: red clover.
Now: the purple globes of milkweed blossoms. The thick scent of honeysuckle. Purple vetch, with their bell-like blossoms hanging downward from only one side of a stalk. Pink sweet pea along the side of roads, and numerous tiny white flowers for which I have no name. Sumac is ripening red, and mulberries on the trees behind our yard are sweet and perfectly ripe.
