some call them black caps,

i learned black raspberry

whatever name,

they are delicious.

and because the rains came nicely as they were growing

they are particularly wonderful

i eat them happily

with steal cut oats,

real (not greek) yogurt,

walnuts,

& maple syrup

for breakfast.

(i could eat only breakfasts right now all day)

after morning walks.

mysterious markings

don't bother the nearby cattle

and busy old sun

lifts above the highlines.

but the early softness forfends

a hot one indeed.

and thunder storms, maybe.

i printed some the other day

right before the realtor showed the house

there were some distinct possibilities.

lovely to get back into the dye pot

i've been fighting a mild bug caused by a series of bug bites

at my hairline. (probably spider bites...)

so it was good to print.

the yellow surprises are, i think,

pollen rich daylily stamens.

funny thing about photo color here-these are a bit browner

rather than greyer, but

i couldn't correctly correct them in iphoto.
