I really feel like Spring was around for two days before Summer took over. One day it was breezy & warm, & the next it was h-a-w-t! I'm not complaining, but I do love Springtime. One of my fave things are definitely the peonies. I managed to grab a few from a neighbor for my apartment, & also snapped some photos from my mom's garden. So gorgeous! I wish they bloomed all summer long...
A few traditional, huge peony bushes... & my favorites - an 'old fashioned' variety. So delicate - we had one big rainstorm & they were done!
(My dad, last Memorial Day helping present flags at a Memorial Day ceremony honoring the veterans of our small town in Iowa)
Happy Memorial Day to all!
Remember why we celebrate & honor those that have given their lives & those who choose to serve our country so we are able to relax & enjoy days like today.

Peonies are my absolute favorite flower! Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day!
I far prefer spring to summer. And pretty peonies!
Such a lovely post! Peonies are so swoon worthy!
i agree. the "spring" flew by!
Love your pictures of the flowers! Sooo wishing I had a peony bush...they are so gorgeous and so expensive down here. Our "spring" literally lasted like a day too. So not fair.
Piper,
The big pink blooms are the old fashioned peonies? I love those blooms, we can't grow peonies in the south, but I would love to research more.
Ooooh peonies! They are my absolute favorite. Our 2nd anniversary is this weekend and I've been not so subtle about how I'm hoping to get a big bouquet of them!
Beautiful post my friend! I love those peonies, and that's a great pic you took of your dad presenting flags!
