Just some flowers

Whew... after all those adventures, Sandy is ready for something simple... like smelling some flowers. 'Tis sweetpea season after all...

These ones are planted along someone's property line... but although one side faces their property, the other side faces a park... which makes them beary accessible... perfect!

 Sweet peas have so many beautiful colours...

 But they do present a challenge for a little bear trying to reach the deep violet ones!

 Made it! Mmmmm... they smell beary sweet... like honey (almost)...

Bye-bye sweet peas!

Sweet Peas Grow Up

Way back in... April? Early May?... Sandy was biking down some back alleys and found this... someone had planted a little garden outside of their back fence.

Mama said that they were baby sweet pea plants! Along with some other things in front... who knows what they might be. Sandy waited patiently for the sweet peas to grow up but... Mama said it would take a while and not happen in a day!

(Or even in two days... or three days)... So Sandy waited patiently and yesterday... was rewarded!!

Oooh ahhh... they are getting very tall (but Mama says they will get even more taller!) They are very colourful too and smell wonderful.

And the little tiny seedlings in front have also grown up... into many-coloured poppies!

They are red and orange and salmon coloured and yellow and white and even striped. But they are not half as big as some of the other poppies Sandy has found. There must be many different sub-species... just like with bears!
