One after another the buds have opened. Each morning, when I step outside, crossing the back porch and wandering down the steps to the garden, the fragrance of these peonies rises. Their show is all too short, and I haven’t had the heart to cut any to bring indoors! These beautiful blooms will soon be gone, making way for the next round of flowers to command attention. Until then, I will breathe deeply their sweet scent.









Grateful,
Jeanine
