The second or third wave of blossoms is in full swing; everything has new leaves, including the stealth ivy at the end of our driveway and the great gingko trees at the park, which have a green haze along their branches.

And someone's been selling lavender in lavender-colored pots; they're dotted in yards here and there, waving their intensely-colored blooms on the end of long stalks. Meanwhile the rain is bringing down the pink magnolia petals and the sweetgum seed balls.
