Of course, I had to follow up April Showers with May Flowers…but for my twist, I’m featuring items from the National Agriculture Library. Did you know that there are three US National Libraries? Library of Congress and National Library of Medicine are the other two. Although for some reason the better quality images are available on the Agricultural Research Service‘s website not the Library’s.
Warty St. John’s wort Hypericum balearicum.

Poor Sienna has gone to doggie heaven where she can bound and leap and eat as much peanut butter & yogurt as she likes. I will miss her.
Why are you going to work? Take me with you!

Quick thoughts…
Music: My most favorite thing at Jazz Fest is to pause (or sit) between to stages and see how the live mashup of two bands work. Sometimes it’s terrible and sometimes it’s inspiring. I just love the cacophony of it.
Loves: first and foremost Economy Hall tent, newly added fried okra, the expanded Native American area & that fry bread is located in two places,
Missed: the big art pieces (commonly called the Ancestors) commemorating various artists that used to be where the Native American area is this year.
Um what: I noticed several different groups in matching t-shirts, bachelor & bachelorette parties and two or three high school groups on trips. Is this a new thing? And they were very Make Way for Ducklings on a crowded Saturday.
