Some smart neighbors staked them up so they didn't lie with their faces on the ground.
Thank you sweet peonies!
The pansies have had a come-back. Until they get too hot, they will keep giving their pretty faces to mine! I have to remember to water them too.

The organic pears. I chose three without a single bruise on them...they were firm red pears, and I've known them to ripen quickly when I get them home. But the clerk checking me out just slammed them down when she weighed them. Great I thought! I bagged my stuff in my own bags, came home, and this is what they looked like.

The beauty of nature is that it always comes back. It may be fleeting, but also forever.
ReplyDeleteWell put, the cycle of life.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are all so pretty! I love the Peonies, I wish I had some growing here.
The resist quote is great. Your casserole dish is pretty, I like the colors.
Take care, hope you have a great day!
Thanks, these flowers have been planted here forever. The red roses were added when they took out a huge hibiscus bush. I have just put a pot full of apple mint in front of my porch...better than looking at the underside every time you walk up to my apartment.
Delete...we need to remember that our days ephemeral.
ReplyDeleteComing and going, then repeat
DeleteThat is the problem with peonies -- the need to stake htem.
ReplyDeleteThis was an excellent plan this year.
DeleteWe built "cages" for our iris this year to keep them upright and I am embarrassed that we never tried this before. I wish I had gotten some pansies. If I had only known how cool our late May and early June would turn out to be.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is cool and damp this week here too. I need to go do some shopping, so will probably wear raincoat and carry umbrella. I'm quite proud of myself yesterday in that I decided I didn't want to do "adulting." It kind of worked, as I binge watched Hawaii 5-Oh.
DeleteThe casserole dish is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt is true, peonies don't last long.
I've never grown them. I like things like zinnias which can be picked and in a vase inside to enjoy for a while.
ReplyDeleteYour casserole dish is really nice and I like the colours. Plants, I love looking at them but don't know much else about them or even their names. They sure know how to show their beauty. Have a wonderful evening.
ReplyDeleteI may have it still. Or one of its sisters. I seldom bake, so it's sitting on a shelf in the back of a cupboard. Glad you like it!
DeleteGosh, what a nice spot of sanity you have here!
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers and Resist poem. The casserole dish is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose Peonies are beautiful! Mine should bloom soon here in Wisconsin. The poem is thoughtful and timely. Enjoy spring and summer!
