You captured the photo of the cucumber blossom at a wonderful angle. Nicely done. So great that you have some Plumeria. I have still never seen one in person, but enjoy those photos I see online. Have you figured out which Hosta the deer prefer? They like my Albo Marginata the best. lol

In Just-
spring when the world is MUD-
LUSCIOUS the little
lame balloonman

whistles far and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it’s
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old balloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it’s
spring
and
the

goat-footed

balloonMan whistles
far
and
wee
