Bloom.

The garden - tilled, planted, and starting to grow:

Green beans coming up:


The lovely-smelling roses! Ah:

The Red Wheelbarrow

I think of this poem every time I push our red wheelbarrow around...

The Red Wheelbarrow
William Carlos Williams

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.
