Me, too! 
And I just found some pretty purple flowers in my yard in a completely different area that I have no clue what they are. I didnāt have my phone to snap a picture but Iāll get one in a bit!

So theres a group of something coming up in front of my Rose of Sharon now.

Iām sorry you have to deal with Tourist but how incredible it must be to live where you are. Some people only dream of living around such beauty I wish i had a beach in my back yard. I live in Chesapeake Va and Va beach is only 20 minutes away from me a lot of people tourist there too it has a beautiful ocean but itās more of a party atmosphere nothing like cape cod I heard yāall have beautiful whales out there and you can see them really good.

Oh, no! It is amazing here! The beaches, sunsets, sunrises, liminal times, the skies, the fun places to go & walk & just enjoy. They didnt really get too bad until around 2020 - 2021. Weāve always had tourists, its a vacation hot spot & the summer is amazing here. When it comes to the more recent tourists though & common sense about dogs & peopleās properties thoughā¦ Yikes. But I love the place, land, water, sky, i drive the beach road during storms just to watch the power of nature doing its thing. Its amazing to me & watching the animals, birds. All of it. But the people have just gotten soā¦ ick since after 2020. Its amazing to me the way some of them act. When I can Iāll show you the most recent sky pictures my daughter & I have taken. We are both watch the sky people. Especially in the AM & PM when the colors are changing, the clouds, the moon, the starsā¦

There is a free app called Picture This that can tell you what it is. Iāve been using it for years and it works great. Let us know when you find out. They are gorgeous!

I ended up using Google Lens and I think theyāre a type of Scilla ā if thatās true, they need to come out 
theyāre pretty but theyāre also invasive!

Oh no! I have noticed I have some invasive plants in my yard too. Speaking of invasive, I need to plant my morning glory seeds that hubby bought me last fall! 
He felt bad about killing mine.

Iām reminded of the saying with perennials - first year sleep, second year creep. third year leap. Iām in the second year of these herbs and wow what a difference a year makes! I am thinking I might move my absinthe as I think itās getting overwhelmed by the stinging nettles and Valerian. Excited to start getting my plants started from seed in the garden this week (now if it would just stop threatening to frost. Weāre 2 weeks past the average dateā¦ 
)
(Top to bottom, Left to Right - Chamomile, Valerian, Mugwort, Oregano and Absinthe.)

Oh my goodness - look at all the pretty green things! 
I love them! Iām so glad theyāre doing well. I didnāt even know that was a saying, either lol
Right?! Iām still not entirely certain theyāre Scilla, but if they are, I have to remove them theyāre invasive but also dangerous to cats and dogs.

I recently found out that lesser celandine is invasiveā¦ so gotta search some more on that to see if thereās an issue with humans, cats, dogsā¦ I donāt think so, but rather be sure.
My friend bought a pack of thyme to growā¦ then had a suspicious plant 
from those seedsā¦ Itās a type of rope hemp/hop. I told her she could make homemade beer 
for gifts 
to people. She said if I wanted to try just buy a pack of thyme seeds at the Dollar 
Store

As soon as they bloom I will share! I have 1 bleeding heart 
that is beginning 
I think the larger 1 is tooā¦ We couldnāt transplant them this year due to work being done on the house soon & we didnt want to do it then have something happen or have to temporarily remove them to put them back
We did have to remove the rhodedendron that was in front of our home. So that was sad 
It was too big to transplant because of how it had been planted originally YEARS ago, before we lived here & too close to the house

Itās so pretty!!! I miss living where lilacs bloom. I grew up in Montana and Minnesota and adored the huge hedges of gorgeous blossoms! As a matter of fact, I think my college graduation photo is me in my cap, gown, and cowboy boots in front of a blooming lilac bush.
