Saving The Peonies

Saving The Peonies

Storms are taking a toll on, well– everything!
I cut an armful of Peonies to at least enjoy the fragrant blossoms a few days in the house.

Beautiful Peonies

Beautiful Peonies

I cut a hand full of Peonies this morning to bring to the house.
How pretty they looked with the morning sunrise highlighting their ruffled petals.
I can’t resist smelling their sweet fragrance every time I walk by.

Sweet Smelling Peony

We needed to move the old Peony bushes

when we moved here, to make way for the new septic lines (just the facts folks!)

We tucked them next to the old Lilac tree…

And now 3 years later they have recovered and are bursting with blossoms.
