Onion, Yarrow, & Geranium Bouquet

I can’t help myself.

Years ago, someone planted onions on the mountain above our house. This year, the bloom heads grew taller than I am. This morning, in the cool fog, I climbed up and, against all good sense, cut a handful to bring inside for a bouquet.

On the way back down, I gathered yarrow. On impulse, I added two stems from the geraniums growing in the giant pots on my deck.

Now my kitchen smells just a little like onions.

I’m perfectly okay with that.
