Secret Pleasure
The book club met every Thursday morning. Lisa enjoyed the discussions about the books, but also the joking banter that got the group laughing. Over the years, the group had become close.
The members liked to share their latest projects. Susan had started taking singing lessons. Pamela was making stain glass ornaments. Laura was volunteering with vulnerable children. Tanya was trying out recipes from around the world. Lisa was busy knitting socks but she also had a new hobby, one she didn’t feel comfortable sharing with the group. Even good friends can find certain interests unsettling.
In the evenings, Lisa was working her way through a college calculus course.
This is a pink Winky columbine. I have found that the Winky (blue and pink) columbine variety blooms better than the single types. They like part shade and adequate moisture. Lovely little flower to start off the summer blooms.
One of the air plants sent up a couple of blooms this morning. Fascinating plants that don't need any soil. They do need to be soaked in water every week or so, and occasionally given a weak liquid fertilizer in their water. I always use distilled or rain water. This plant was put outside on a rainy day which is another way to water them. They like to be in a window that gets gentle sun.
Old-fashioned iris. Not frilly or fancy but still very attractive.
The foamflower is literally growing on top of a rock. I guess the moss on the rock provides enough medium for it to hang unto and there would be a small amount of soil under the moss. Very pretty with blue Siberian bugloss and pulmonaria around it.
