Late bloomer

A fleeting moment of Pacific Northwest summer this year was surrounded on the mid-June and mid-August sides by cool, cloudy, rainy days, and now it seems that fall is here. It was 57 degrees in my bedroom when I woke up this morning. Already time to start closing the windows.

From four seeds that a friend of my mother's brought from New Zealand a couple of months ago, a single heirloom nasturtium has managed to bloom at last.

I'm remembering stories of pioneer women traveling westward and keeping seeds safe by sewing them into the hems of their aprons.

What a wonderful image.

Of course, lack of laundry facilities then becomes kind of a plus!
