Her Turn

July 17:

Echinacea Purpurea (Purple Coneflower) is blooming in profusion.  She and I have had a long and loving relationship over a period of about 20 years.  I call her "Queen E", because she is indeed a Queen to me.

Something is always blooming around here.  A friend of mine who is a Native Elder said that in Nature, things are always taking their turn.  Clearly, it's Echinacea's turn.  Soon her turn will be past and what will be next?  This is like reading a very good book.  I cannot even imagine putting it down.
