Poppies and Irises

I have neglected my gardens for several years but for the past week, I have spent a short time each day getting my hands dirty. I had forgotten how important that connection to the earth is for me and I have recommitted myself to spending more time outside in the sun, wind and rain. Today is a beautiful Sunday morning and my late spring poppies and irises are blooming.

(I also planted tomatoes, yellow squash, lettuce, sunflowers, basil and cilantro this week.)
