It's about thyme

One of the thyme plants in the garden is blooming. It's a standard thyme variety. The other two are lemon thyme and they are not flowering yet.

Tiny thyme blossoms.

The weather is nice. We're wearing shorts for the first time this year. The grass is all cut again. It grows very fast in the spring when it's wet and starting to warm up. Once the hotter, dryer days of summer come, the grass doesn't need to be cut so often.

I'm heading into town to the market this morning for strawberries. I'll also be looking for something tasty to grill for lunch. I love barbecue weather! This is a four-day weekend for a lot of French people. Thursday was a holiday (Ascension) and many people took Friday off, too. Next weekend will be a three-day weekend as Pentecost Monday is another national holiday. The stores and markets, not to mention the roads, are starting to feel crowded.
