Buds still tight, going to have these for a long time. Can't wait to sense their wonderful scent in the air.
The peonys in my garden are showing many fresh shootings now, about 10 cm over the ground already. One of my favourite perennials! Can't get too many peonys...*smiling*...
Some days back i joined a book giveaway at Shawna's lovely blog Calm Things, guess whos name got drawn!!:
MINE...*BIG smile on my face*. I am so looking forward to spend time with her new book Hive.
“How to recognize what is real? To know the layers and depths of oneself, to know how to open, to know how to fill a capacious hold-all, to know one’s own quirks and nervous twitches, cravings and transparencies, and, above all the force, literally the force, of events, connections, the wild calm in every thing. ”
-Shawna Lemay
Just picked some opening buds of my peonies today :-) Such a rich plant!
ReplyDeleteHopefully I can get some pictures of them that do them justice this year.
