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.
