Various Pretty Things

 The yellow iris

 When some flowers are spent, others begin.

Nature crafted a lovely archway along the back fence of the farm.

 The herb beds are looking better. Now everything is blooming. Thyme:

 The gorgeous thing blooming is the cilantro.

 Above, the new herb bed is in the foreground, and the old bed is in the distance.
See all that cilantro?

cilantro and dill -- so pretty together

 And I've discovered something about my cilantro going to seed (which I love for it to do). When the tiny round seeds dry and turn brown, they are called coriander. But I wondered about them when they are still bright green on the stalks. Do they taste like cilantro? So I stripped a handful off and  munched them ...
... and they were perfectly, lightly crunchy, and tasted wonderfully of cilantro! Delicious! I want them in an avocado dip.

 Mother's Day flowers from Julia:

 This darling little boy outfit comes from WalMart. The elephant ear flaps :)

 I'm still painting cards. Julia liked this one.

 Last but not least, we handed over the little Suzuki to Julia, and after saving for a year we bought this used Chevrolet from a friend. Isn't she beautiful?
