Do you have any collections?

Bible on my shelf
a ribbon holds my place
in the Psalms

older now
used books settle
in their new home

new space
on a few shelves
donated books

Mid-May Garden

Some time in the yard, and grateful to see so many old friends. Primroses, daffodils, ferns, small bleeding hearts, and other flowers. We are grateful to see the bees. Our Easter lily plants are in the garden, near the back door. And also the small hyacinth plants we bought at a store.
