Lupine blooming on Ediz Hook. August 4, 2025
“When I grow up,” I tell her, “I too will go to faraway places and come home to live by the sea.”
“That is all very well, little Alice,” says my aunt, “but there is a third thing you must do.”
“What is that?” I ask.
“You must do something to make the world more beautiful.”

Very good advice! I would love to see a wild lupine in bloom. We have it here but it’s very rare.

There was a lot of lupine in the open space where I used to run before. Not so much here and, in fact, when I first saw it here on the peninsula, I thought it looked familiar but didn’t make the connection. Zippy was the one who said, “That’s lupine!” I hope you get to see some soon, Mara.
