…this year, with our unusually wet spring and cool temperatures. I love it.

All of the above are of the peony bouquet I brought into the house.

The pix below are in situ: peonies in the so-called wild of my neighborhood.

The wham-o sunvu from 1962. I was there then and I don’t remember seeing anyone using this contraption. But, as I am an avowed sun avoider nowadays, I wonder…did this weird thing work?!!

And much less common

Peonies in Denver. They are amazing this year! Must be the cool weather and the inches and inches of rain.

We were there just 3 months prior to the fateful September day when the terrorists hit the buildings with high jacked planes. Wow. Freaky to think about.

Love these beautiful perennial flowers!

More coming soon!
