Who knew?


Who knew how excited it would make me to find these pink peonies at Trader Joe's yesterday? When I was a girl growing up in Middletown, Illinois peony bushes grew everywhere. I was very disdainful of them and hardly considered them worthy of being allowed inside. Now 50 years later, it just fills my heart with gladness to have these 5 stems in my favorite vase bringing their beauty to my kitchen. Reminds me of running barefoot through soft, moist lush green grass.

Peeny Piney Peony

We have several bushes in our yard. Your peonys probably didn't come complete with ants though.
