Chuck's picture corner the last week of spring 2026 🙋🎇🎊⚽⛈

The last week of spring has been cooler than average, with lots of rain. It's shrub pruning time as many plants have finished flowering. For Rachelle and I summer is socializing time, our calendar is full of visits here and there. We will be seeing folks we haven't socialized with for years, we look forward greatly for this.

stinging nettle, good for our herbal medicine, not so good for bare hands, lol

I should check to see if these guys are edible, there seems to be quite a few around this stump up to a meter plus away.

Russian sage (blue) 

Potentilla

Salvia perennial, Victoria blue

blooms all summer, stays the same size, dry soil, perfect for this location.

the rain this week has this last blooming peony now lying down.

Wow the light in this cloud was strong, the pic doesn't do it justice.
