the trillium with its brownish red bloom

the rain cleared out after a down pour in the early hours of the morning. as the sun came out through the clouds, i couldn't resist taking a little garden walk. the silvery drops on the bleeding heart were beautiful. unfortunately, my picture does not do it justice.

What a wonderful garden walk I took with you just now. I cut/pasted the bluebells and was able to forward them to Norma, the flower lady! She will just love them. Me too. Love, Mom
