Good afternoon! I hope you are doing well today. I tell you – it’s been some day here – if something can go wrong, it is…I’m wishing I was still camping with the family in the wilds of County Donegal! I’ve come home to weeds that have made themselves all too much at home, but the wildflowers the kids planted are in bloom and looking lovely. It’s time to get out our botany books and discover what’s growing at home and in the parks.
