Forget-me-nots

These little blue and yellow flowers are well named. You cannot forget them because they will always return to your garden, forever. So pretty in springtime, but then out they must go.

Floating roses, San Miguel

In San Miguel de Allende, an art and tourist mecca in central Mexico, I went to a beautiful former factory, La Fabrica Aurora, which is now a shopping heaven. In the courtyard were these display of roses. Which are prettier, lavender or pink?

I do love dandelions, but not in my own yard. These were by the side of the road near my Seattle home.

San Miguel courtyards

Walking around el centro, the main central area of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, sometimes you can peek into courtyards from the street.

One more thing. Today is my 8th Blogoversary! What a fun time I’ve had. Thanks, everyone, for visiting and commenting. It really makes my day.
