Resplendent Roses

Though it is overcast today, we are about 6-7 degrees warmer than they predicted. Right now it is 68. The rose bushes are full of flowers. I continue to bring in a few buds to open in the vase on the dining room table. I had been waiting for all of the rain to cease so I could get a photo of my neighbor’s peonies. Alas, the heavy rain we had Friday night pretty much beat them down so the pink ones are lying on the ground. What I remember about peonies when I grew them about 30 years ago was the exquisite aroma and the big beautiful blooms attracted ants and other insects. I see that is a true recollection. The door decoration was something left on the Give-and-Take table in the main building. Maybe a bit small for my door, but I hung it anyway. It should be warm enough this week to enjoy sitting on the porch surrounded by all of these beautiful flowers. Hope you are enjoying spring as well.
