Around Here

I look forward to peonies every year!

And the time is now!

Sweet Peas

My Grandma was one of those people who could plant a stick in the ground and it would grow into a cherry tree.

Her back yard was overrun with wild irises, morning glories and sweet peas.....

Orchids

I'm giving them a try again.

Keep your fingers crossed that I don't kill them. At least not immediately.

If It's May, It Must Be Time for Peonies

Peonies are my favorite flower and once a year for about two weeks I can get them at the Teeter.

Here they are making my room so much more beautiful and fragrant.

I feel so blessed to have them. They are perfectly beautiful in every way.

Spring Flowers

I know. It's only January. As we have previously discussed, I am in winter denial.

As you may have noticed from the pictures of the house tours, I buy a lot of fresh flowers. I am blessed to have a nice flower selection over at my Teeter and I take advantage of it. This weekend, they had some really good looking tulips and so for ten bucks, I got some beautiful pink tulips for my bedroom.

If you don't take the opportunity to purchase fresh flowers for your home, you should really think about it. These blooms have been such a nice pick me up on what turned out to be a pretty gray day.
