Peonies everywhere!

The garden has been bringing it's bounty of blooms to us lately. It is such a pleasure to

walk out in it every morning and see what is new.

All gardeners know that you miss so much if you don't take every opportunity

walk around in the different light throughout the day. So many changes happen

over the course of a few days.

Even now as I write this the peonies are fading away.

Here are a few pictures I have taken while they were at their peak.

I know a few of you will have seen two or three of these pictures on my garden blog,

so forgive me for repeating myself.

But I just can't help myself.

I have one of those personalities that becomes easily addicted to things. I would maybe even

use the word 'rabid'. lol!

When I find something I love, I have to have more than one.

Yes, I am one of those who can never eat just one cookie, one soda,

one french fry,

or one potato chip. (and that's why they are seldom brought into the house)

(chips, I mean)

This is how I am with peonies!

 

They just give, and give, and give.

 

I even had to take some to the gazebo on a beautiful sunny day.

As I am sure you have all noticed by now, I love the pastel colors of these blooms and am attracted

to fabrics in the same hues.

They remind me of cotton candy.

I love huge bouquets of peonies because of the statement they make.

And this is not all.

I will be back to share more of my obsession soon.
