"I always watch for the longest day in the year and then miss it." — F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
 
            I haven’t miss the longest day of the year. In fact. I haven’t missed a single white flower that has blossomed in my garden this spring — the bright side of being home during the pandemic. (Left to right, top to bottom: hepatica, white bleeding hearts, rose, vinca, foxglove, lily of the valley, sweet woodruff, daisy, anemone/wind flower, Tina crabapple blossoms, trillium, Chardonnay pearls, more trillium, more vinca, knock-out rose)
