Borage for Bees and a Baby Robin

This year's Allium blooms have drawn the bees right in

hmmm... there were five.   The wild turkey feathers are new.  hehe...  Silly wrens.

The calm after the storm and the catalpa's gifts

Last night we had a terrible storm that snapped one of the tall pine trees in our backyard in half.  There was hail,  torrential rain, thunder, lightning and crazy wind. 

This is what I found today...

 coral bells

perfect yellow roses

                                                                               one 4-leaf clover

 wallflowers

 Dilemma: do two 4-leaf clovers cancel each other out or is it extra good luck?  

 catalpa in bloom

 these orchid like catalpa flowers showered down with the storm 

flower press (gift from a friend) for pressing my luck (clovers) :)
