May be the Best Time of Year

Can you believe it?  This spikey plant that stabs me whenever I try to pull a weed near it, the source of red wounds on my arms for most of the summer, is going to be my favorite for the next month.  The weeds aren't too high yet... though I pulled a few today... and what was once a give away plant from a friend at school, will soon be loaded with white flowers.
We have seven plants around the perimeter of the house, and it took years for them to start blossoming, but now they do--every May.  It reminds me of the Summer to come.  Hooray!
