I want to wish my friends recovering from surgery the strength and patience to heal. Ilana-Davita wrote a bit about her experience with recovery in this post. For another friend, who is here in Highland Park, I wish recovery and healing and growth and renewed energy.

You are early. My own weekly review isn’t ready yet and it’s already Friday here!
Thanks for the link.
I just “discovered” azaleas and bought myself a nice small shrub. So pretty! My neighbor says that they are blooming now…so what? I’ll have a bigger bush for next year!
Jacob, now that’s a gardener! Planning ahead for next spring. Ideally, it’s great to plant perennials in the fall, so they don’t have to weather the hot summer, but when I go to plant nurseries in the fall there are few plants.
I look forward to photos of your azaleas next spring.
I planted astilbes in my backyard because of you. We’ll see how they do in the fall.
That’s a great composition in your picture!! I love the bokeh! I hope you’ll have a great weekend!!
So glad you like it, Jientje! You have a great weekend, too.
What a lovely photo! I will check out your links. I’ve been offline for the past ten days.
Thanks for the link Leora, I’m really looking forward to Summer Stock’s kickoff.
Summer Stock sounds like fun….
that is such a pretty flower, the leaves make it look like slinky, as though the flower is being bounced up by the leaves.
