The peonies are in full bloom. They do not last long, usually less than a month, but they are fantastic while they are in bloom.
Many years ago, Joy Phillips gave me six Peonies that she and Cliff dug out of their yard. These, and more in other parts of our yard, came from those plants. I think of Joy each year when they bloom, and the beauty and joy she is still bringing into my life.

They make a very nice, dark green, low growing hedge the rest of the year.
Thank you to Becky for pulling all the weeds on the rock path. Also, thank you Ryan, for the new stone path and all the help with the building project. Come back soon. :D
As you can see in the background, there are still a few flowers and plants left to go into the ground.
This little guy, still on the nest, and a sibling, hatched out in the back yard. He is almost ready to fly, and mother makes a terrific racket when we go near.
