Objects of my affection

The copper rain barrel was my favorite addition to the garden this year.

Now, if only we could get a little rain to fill it.

The fair weather gardener,

who will do nothing ,

except when the wind, weather and everything else

is favorable

will never master his craft

Henry Ellacombe

No garden is complete without a few of these.

Sunflowers are blooming

Juice taken from the leaves of borage and made into a syrup,

with sugar and honey expels melancholy and sadness,

clarifies the blood and comforts the heart.
