I checked the garden. Looks like the beagle crop is nearly ripe.

Ruby-throated #hummingbird in our front #garden. After the spring migration wave passes I still see one or two that stay around through the summer. Haven’t been able to get any photos of it but yesterday I got lucky, walked out with camera in hand and it was right there at the #zinnias. The numbers will swell in a few weeks and they’ll hang around till the first strong cold front blows through in late Oct or so.

These days they are filling my garden with sunshine again - the beautiful yellow coneflowers...

Our garden is blooming.
Today, I shopped at Costco with my daughter wearing my ,la hat, mask, and rainbow Crocs. All of a sudden, a stranger came charging toward me, and I felt a little unsure. My daughter was ready to defend her mom.
It turned out to be a woman who was my client twenty plus years ago. I was managing a homeless shelter for survivors of domestic violence. I worked with her family for two years. When I saw her last, she and her two children were in an apartment, had purchased a used car, she had a good job, and her record had been expunged.
Today, she told my daughter I had changed her life, but I corrected her because she changed her life.
She clearly is in a good place now. I told her how happy I was to know she and her children are safe and well.
It is a small world.

Summer does love flowers.
I thought our roses were mostly done, but they seem to have found a second wind.
Almost every bush has buds.
It's pretty exciting for Summer and I both.

Sunflower Sunday isn't a thing on Mastodon, but here are some sunflowers anyway. #Bloomscrolling #flowers
Some teeny flowers for those who like to do some Sunday #BloomScrolling
I mowed my grass today and came across these in my backyard. My hand for scale.
According to the google and the cool feature on my phone that identifies plants, flower, insects, etc. these are:
1) Oriental False Hawksbeard
2) White Mouth Dayflower
3) often called Purple Secretia, Purple-Heart or Purple Queen
