Yesterday, on a cool, sunny, rained-fresh morning, I stepped outside my back deck door to do a "bloom check" in my yard. Above, an azalea I cannot bring myself to trim back enough is hanging over the deck stairs.

| This bleeding heart has grown quite large. |
Martha Stewart describes the blooms of dicentra spectabalis alba (white) pictured on her blog as "puffy heart-shaped flowers with little dripping tears," on her recent May post about her farm.

| I have only one of the "old fashioned" white bleeding hearts |
 |
| One bleeding heart is surrounded by re-seeding forget-me-nots--a nice combo. |
 |
| Ajuga reptans blooming blue by my little pond, which still needs work. |
I love May mornings. No bugs. No sweat. A cup of coffee on the deck. Bird songs. I wish I could bottle it and open it up again in mid-summer!
