Frothy pinkness....... The first peonies are blooming. I will have lots I can pick for bouquets later this week. In the meantime here are the very first flowers.
My company has all gone home, I am exhausted, a happy exhaustion from seeing so many in my family. The laundry is done and I hope to turn on a sewing machine tonight. See you all tomorrow.
The flowers are gorgeous, and love the quilted runner the vase is sitting on! Glad you had a nice visit from your family. I can't tell you how many times I think I have to have something else done before I turn on my machine (laundry, dishes, etc.). But the times I seem to put the chores off until later and sew first, are the most productive!
Peonies are absolutely my favorite flower and, unfortunately, they don't grow here in So Cal. At least they haven't for me. So, I satisfy myself with hydrangeas...my next favorite flower. Yours are soooo beautiful
Glad you had such a good visit with everyone! That first photo is gorgeous, and the second one shows how fabulous those flowers look on that quilted table runner!
So beautiful. And I don't know that I've seen a red one like that. Mine are slightly ahead of yours, and with the hard rain last night, they are looking a bit bedraggled.
Oh! I can almost smell them! I love them, love them, love them...but they do not grow here in So Calif. =-( As someone here said earlier, I have peony envy...=-)
Very fitting. I think they bloomed at this point for a reason. Your mom lives on in a beautiful way...through memories of a loving family and I think that she wants all of you to smile and rest assured that she is watching over things.

I also love the flowers and the table runner. Is that something you just put together. I would love something like that.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of Peonies!
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite flower, but they don't grow well for me. I have severe Peony Envy this time of year!
ReplyDeleteExuberant flowers for an exuberant gal! Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is stunning! It would look great blown up and framed.
ReplyDeletePeonies are one of my favorite flowers - the dark red ones, especially. I can smell yours from here...
ReplyDelete[fabulous table runner!!]
Happy exhaustion is the best kind. Your Peonies are gorgeous! And what a lovely table runner. Hope you get a chance to do some sewing tonight.

ReplyDeleteFrom your great photos, I can smell the flowers and I can feel their satiny softness. Cool table runner, Wanda.
ReplyDeleteLove those peonies! You have to enjoy them while they're out, as the blooming seems fairly short-lived.
ReplyDeleteAnd that table runner complements the flowers so nicely!

ReplyDeleteWonderful to see you back. I just love peonies...I used to put HUGE bouquets of them on my DR table to the short time they were around.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful happy bouquet to bring some happiness to you at this time. I love peonies, but mine are not in bloom just yet.
ReplyDeleteYour peonies are gorgeous, I can almost smell them through the computer screen ;-).
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good visit with your family and may you have some time for sewing this evening.
Gorgeous flowers but I also love the runner under the vase!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful peonies....mine isn't going to bloom this year...I almost killed it last year. I hope it will bloom next year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful peonies. Glad your blog is better. I missed you.
ReplyDeleteVery fitting. I think they bloomed at this point for a reason. Your mom lives on in a beautiful way...through memories of a loving family and I think that she wants all of you to smile and rest assured that she is watching over things.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. They look very nice on that gorgeous table runner.
ReplyDeleteI saw the table runner and had to comment.....I see I'm not alone! It's beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh - I loves me some frothy pinkness! =) Pretty table runner too.
