to please my eye ~ to please my soul ...

after a few days of heavy rain and wind

some of the peony became water logged and heavy...

once the sun came out, most of the stems straightened up

but a few were still lying on the grass

I snipped these off

(giving them a good shake as they are usually covered in ants)

made a little bouquet for the kitchen table

peonies & picket fences

((bliss))

 lovely  crumbled garden lady

was a gift from friends & next door neighbours

who passed her over the fence when they were moving to B.C.

she is treasured

"I grow plants for many reasons.

To please my eye

or to please my soul,

to challenge the elements

or to challenge my patience,

for novelty

or for nostalgia,

but mostly

for the joy in seeing

them grow"
