A Joyful Noise

Pride of Madeira

I’ve got the blues

May 10, 2018 by Melodye Shore

I’ve got the blues.

And by that, I mean the campanula that’s spreading like a welcome mat across our front walkway. (Oh, my lucky stars!)

I’m talking, too, about this purplish-blue posy, irresistible to pollinators and photographers alike.

In my backyard garden, the Hawaiian Blue Eyes are just now peeking through the soil. Hummingbirds are swarming the Black and Blue salvia. And just a short distance from Chez Shore, these Pride of Madeira have rooted themselves into a jagged cliff that overlooks the deep blue sea.

I could sing its praises all day long, the color blue. It’s the hue that makes my heart sing–how about you?
