Summer wildflowers galore!
There is an empty field by the post office, right near the hospital that has not reopened since Katrina. It is directly on the swath of land that is going to be developed into a green/bike corridor, which we are all so enthusiastic about around here. But right now, all I see is a large field of black-eyed susans.
Today I picked a nosegay for the table and the delicate stems and the rising heat outside presage the coming of a long, hot summer.
