5th avenue.

5th_ave
i’d be lying if i said that i didn’t miss new york. but when may rolls around and the wildflowers begin to bloom around this street sign in wilmington, i have to say that i’m pretty darn happy here too. you just don’t see too many sights like this in manhattan.

    wow is that queen anne’s lace blooming already? i’m jealous! i found flowers in nyc today….plants are for sale now everywhere you look at the farmers market. i started wanting to buy some to grow on my balcony and then started to wish i had a yard so i could grow a whole garden. 🙁

    I just read the book Miss Rumphius to my class. Your post reminded me of the lupine lady making the world more beautiful.
