a splash of color

Here's a recent photo of some of my plants (on the front porch), taken in a brief period of non-rain last Saturday morning. Just around the corner, out of the lens frame are: a little herb garden (basil, oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary, and marjoram), some viola seedlings, some marigolds, and a lovely lavender bush. The herbs and seedlings are currently crowding my kitchen table - I'm worried they wouldn't survive tonight's cold, windy rain. The lavender, the marigolds, and all the others are still outside; I'm afraid they're gonna have to make it through the night on their own. Just like the rest of us.
