peonies already??? really???

This garden in the mountain west seems to be about 3 weeks ahead 

of a normal year.  I've never had peonies by the middle of June!

but---I'll take 'em!

My peonies usually bloom around the 4th of July or so. 

Last year, I had to move several to sunnier spots in the garden

and didn't expect many blooms this year, but I was able to 

pick a couple of large buckets of them to photograph.

I will share a few more photos of them in the next post along with 

more of the lilacs photos I haven't gotten posted yet.

(yes, I still have more lilacs)

Everyday I get out in the garden a take photos of what's blooming,

but never seem to get a post done. I always think I will get on top of things,

and never seem to, but I may just surprise myself (and you) and get another 

post done soon.

Have a wonderful week everyone!!!!!!
