Here’s a simple Easter posy, which includes the pink version of California poppy (the Mission Bells mix), shelling pea blossoms, Cerinthe major purpurascens, sweet pea blossoms, Phacelia tanacetafolium, purple salvia, blue-eyed grass, and a sweet little surprise pink penstemon I found growing sideways on the very edge of the pollinator garden near the fence. Did I plant it? Who knows!
It’ll be a strange holiday, won’t it? We usually celebrate by joining our neighbors in a large outdoor potluck brunch (after the little kids have an egg hunt), and it’s always a fun time of fellowship, which we’ll miss. We’ll still have a family dinner with ham and maybe some spring peas from the garden. This little bouquet will help decorate our table.
Two things that heads-of-state have said lately have resonated with me: Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, reminded us that the Bible said that we are all parts of one body; and Queen Elizabeth said firmly, “We will be with friends again, we will be with family again, we will meet again.”
Hope you have a blessed holiday weekend.
