Three good things today:
- Some of our periwinkle flowers are starting to bloom. I took a picture of one of them.
- I had a calm, reasonably productive day at work today.
- My three year old son confidently saying "today" when he means "tomorrow". He even clarifies by saying "today, after we go to sleep and wake up" and will correct me if I attempt to correct him. I find it funny 😁.

We have a #pollinator paradise in our back yard. Unfortunately, the #HumingbirdMoth and #BumbleBees (who are nesting in the leaves underneath) had fled the scene by the time I got my camera, but other pollinators were buzzing around. In addition to the #dandelions and #periwinkle, we also have a blooming crab #apple tree nearby, and some 100-year old #lilacs (that smell amazing), which have just started blooming.

Greater Periwinkle, also known as Sorcerer’s Violet, Creeping Myrtle, Joy on the Ground, and Devil’s Eye. Periwinkle contains vincamine, used as a cerebral stimulant. The plant represents early recollections, memories, and sweet remembrance. One snippet of folklore suggests that gazing at periwinkle flowers would restore lost memories. #FabulousFolklorePodcast #FolkloreThursday #Folklore #PlantLore #Flowers #FolkloreBlog #Periwinkle #Plants

"Oh, Charlotte," chided Maud, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Not all who wander are #LOST?'"

"I beg your pardon," declared Charlotte, aghast.
"What are these #Plants if not lost? Did we not agonize over these edges? And are you really going to let the likes of #Periwinkle & #Mint tyrannize these borders?
I'd say not."

Maud hid her smile. When it came to the #Garden, she was the more relaxed. But she couldn't resist playing the #StingingNettle with her sister.
