A change of scenery

Where are the roses when I need them? Or the cheery little faces of 'Moonbeam' coreopsis?

I could do with a walk around the garden today. Oh, not the mid-January garden -- the mid-May one that lifts my spirits and settles my mind.

It's been a tough month. Two deaths in our extended family have left me feeling vulnerable and uncertain. A bit of quiet and warm sunshine would go a long way toward getting things back into perspective.
