Getting pointed looks from an impatient Bowser, as seen through my kitchen window.
Many things in bloom this month on the trail (just as lovely as the wisteria in the garden!).
Native trailing blackberryHoneysuckleWestern StarflowerThimbleberryPacific DogwoodNootka Rose (with Bowsie coming in hot for a treat, in the background!)Alright, alright! You are on the trail and blooming too, Bowser!Lupins are just getting started on their bloom time.
No matter how the walk starts or what we see on the trail, it ends pretty much the same way:
He’s the sweetest little guy. I just want to pick him up and hug him.
Love seeing your wild blooms, so different on my coast. The lupine has the same leaves but the blooms are much smaller and shorter than ours.
The wild lupins are definitely smaller out here – smaller than my garden centre lupin too (which I didn’t plant but was in the garden already, and that I might have killed when I had to move it). Thanks, Rivergirl 💕 I will give him a hug from you!
Beautiful pictures. Missing nature walks now and starting to feel sorry for myself. 4 th day of COVID. Holy crap how did I get this ridiculous disease. Four days and I still have a fever! Anyway enjoy the walks. Too bad you can’t take Diesel. He has been good about it but he is getting bored.
WHAT?!?! I’m so sorry you got Covid, dear sister! I would love to take Diesel for a walk, hopefully someday. Hope you are on the mend soon! Thank you, Carol 💕
I love that look on his face, as if he’s telling you he’s disappointed that your not doing is bidding fast enough. If he had a wrist watch he’d be looking back and forth between it and you. Thanks for sharing this little guy.
You nailed it, Jean. I am holding a treat in one hand and he is laser-focused on it and counting the milliseconds too. It’s the only way I can get him to pose while we are out exploring. Thank you 💕
Thimbleberries!!! When I lived in the Keweenaw (in the UP of Michigan) we had thimbleberries. They made jam out of them. I wasn’t a fan of it but I thought it was cool you didn’t have to add anything to make it thicken.
Hi Deb – he’s a delight while you’ve crafted us a delightful May walk on the Island … always a nap after a walk, with a strong cup of tea to hand … cheers Hilary
That’s something Bowser and I have in common
Me too! Thanks, Sheree 💕

Love the wisteria. I keep trying to find a place to plant it in my yard but it needs a sturdy structure to lean on.
It certainly does. Mine is a dragon that just can’t stop growing. I could give it a weekly haircut and you would never notice. Thanks, Kate 💕

Absolutely correct! A strong cup of tea is a joy after a walk. Thanks, Hilary 💕
Lovely flowers but my favorite one is the fuzzy gray and white one with the orange highlights. 🙂
Bowser is definitely the best of the blooming flowers in my opinion too! Thanks, Janis 💕
Your garden and trail both look stunning. I love everything that is in bloom this time of year. Looking forward to catching up soon!
Thank you my friend 💕
