We'll tell you of a blossom and of buds on every tree
Rabbit, rabbit! For May Day, I made a garland and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch photographed me. The inspiration was nineweaving.
The awful razing of our yard last summer produced one unexpected result this spring: we have a ground cover of violets. I picked a sufficient-looking quantity and brought them inside where I discovered that my romantic idea of braiding a garland was woefully inadequate to the tendency of stems to snap. I knotted them at intervals with thread.
Considering that I cannot remember ever making a garland of wild flowers before in my life, I was pleased with the results.
In which I am doing my best to become a green man of the lilac, just budding but already summer-sweet.
The photographer thought I looked like a heroic statue.
Because everyone should be offered a branch of May, even if it's a Bradford pear.
And on the porch was sitting the copy of Vivien Alcock's A Kind of Thief (1991) thatosprey_archer had offered a week ago and Hestia had run across my computer to claim, so she will sit on it and I will read it and we will welcome in the spring.

Thank you so much!
And that is a very impressive flower crown for using real flowers; most of the ones I've seen done are with silk and florist's wire due to the tensile lacking inherent in stems, but then you end up with other things lacking as a result. I love how vivid the violets are, and the sense of movement in the petals.
I'm so glad! I am currently trying to press and dry it. I became very fond of it in the making.
The pear blossoms are lovely, too.
The lilac and the pear are the two real trees left in our yard. I treasure them.
