The Newest Green

We explore the yard, Lola and I. She, moving fast, tail wagging furiously, nose aggressively plowing through a rich mosaic of smells, black earth, packed down leaves, moss, pine cones, wet grass, and mud. These smells are so alive and fierce, she tells me! And then, we meet this delicate gem, clean and quiet, with petals soft like linen. Welcome to the world sweet garden bud, welcome to my garden!
