The garden in bloom...........

How grand it is! the sun is shining the birds are singing the blooms are well blooming!! I wanted to share some photos today of my favorite bloom, the Peony.  If I were able to have this bloom all summer long I would. There is something about it that makes me swoon, like the way a good day of junking does.. Is it the color? The lingering fragrance? The delicate and feminine blooms when fully opened?? I think it is all of the above.

I snapped a few photos, of my first bloom that opened up. Yesterday was my mom's 60th birthday and I hosted the celebration at my house. I was so tickled to see one opened up that morning. You see my mom and I both love peonies, so I was so happy to have had one at her spot at the table, just for her...I think those peonies knew just when they should show up in my garden, just in time to party!
