Purple Sage

We ran some errands today. We took our recyclables to our local recycle center and did a little Christmas shopping. Just outside the discount store where we shopped, I noticed this purple sage in bloom. Second Spring is still here. Click on the image to enlarge and look for the honey bees collecting nectar.
