Sunshine

The sunshine was great yesterday, it melted a bit of snow...a few more days and we will be back to dirty snow.   We escaped the rain...not sure who got rain but we did not. 


Jolynns peonies as few summers ago.  Do you pronounce it peeohnee or peeuhnee ?  Is one wrong and the other right?   

I just look forward to the blooms...and the fragrance.  

Years ago my large clumps of peonies were a hiding place for a cat named Whiskers...she would hide amongst the foliage and pounce on anyone who walked by.  She honed her skill at scaring people that summer and carried it over into the winter trapping Grandpa H in the bathroom and holding a Minister hostage by the front door and not allowing him past her rocking chair.   Other than being anti social she was a sweet thing who didn't know she was a cat.  We hand raised her from birth and obviously didn't teach her the things her mama would have.

Peony

 My Peonies had a good Spring and early Summer with adequate rain! 



I have three plants, all from neighbor Jo years ago.  Ruby, Pink and White.   The white one has not bloomed yet. 

Ants are always present. 

Years ago I recall this time of year the ladies would bring bouquets of peonies to church on Sunday mornings and the church smelled so good!   I suppose they don't "do" that anymore...too bad.
