Messages from the Garden

For my mum's birthday this year, I took her out plant shopping. I...did not resist the temptation to buy plants for myself as well. XD I bought some herbs, some succulents, and some geraniums. Today, the geraniums and the catnip (yes, more catnip!) got repotted. I also planted the moss rose seeds, which are absurdly tiny.



The geranium collection had a very difficult time with the hard freezes this winter, but it looks like all but one made it through alive enough to start putting out new growth. Even with the new plants in, the pot looks threadbare and shabby. By summer, it should be overflowing with scented leaves and flowers, if last year was any indication.

Lake Lewisia #77

“This isn’t the first time I’ve seen you doing something impossible at the lake,” she observed. The dark figure crouching at the lakeshore lifted a colander out of the patch of boiling water, where the bubbles stayed in a cluster. The soft-boiled egg the figure fished out was still hot, and they tossed it from hand to hand as they said, “The impossible is very tasty with toast, at least.”
