passion for peonies

The peonies in my back yard are in full bloom.

(a bit of heaven)

One of my 3 favorite flowers.

hydrangea

peony

zinnia

 speaking of heaven...can you imagine what they look like there?

star of the show

 My little granddaughter Audrey had her dance recital last saturday.

 Along with her classmates they danced and twirled on stage in their darling pink costumes.

 Showing everyone their newly acquired dancing skills.

 But dancing wasn't Audrey's only skill, 

she showed everyone her other skill, 

her nose picking skill.

For a 3 1/2 year old it's hard to do 2 things at once.

She would dance...stop...pick...

twirl...stop...pick...

leap...stop...pick...

She definitely stole the show! 

After a performance like that every dancer deserves flowers.

I made her a bouquet out of yellow carnations, pink tissue paper, with a dancing ballerina on top. 

that kind of day

if I had a clothes line outside
 I would hang my laundry on it

  it's just that kind of day

This sweet little flower vase arrived on my doorstep, along with my son, late last night.

  Home to live with us for the summer. 

His wife and my 3 little grandkids coming soon...

makes me crave a red cream soda

Happy Mothers Day
