Peered at peonies never pop.

 Finally, two of my peonies opened up today. They smell so good. This is my first experience painting peonies so I will be interested to see how long they stay fresh. Luckily, there are a dozen or more waiting to pop in the yard.

April showers brought us wonderful May flowers in Ohio but this is the end of the neighborhood tulips for the year. Now, I am anxiously waiting for the day lilies and peonies to pop. We have both in our little yard thanks to previous gardeners!

I live on an Air Force base in 80 year old housing so my yard has been cared for by many gardeners prior to my hands. Since this is our first Spring in the house, it is fun to see what pops up in the yard and our neighbor's yards as the days get warmer. Moving season has begun for military families so there are some empty homes in our neighborhood. Those yards might of have tulips, daffodils, and irises with peonies on the way. All of this makes for many a still life set up. I picked these daffodils last week from the flower bed of an empty house and they have been living in the refrigerator. Life is good!

Dressed to Impress

 

The 30 day Marketing Challenge that I am participating in is proving to be very useful. Thank you Leslie Saeta! I learned how to add words to my photo collages and felt that making one for Tuxedo Tuesday would be perfect practice. Tuxedo Tuesday is that special day of the week on my Facebook page when you are encouraged to post a photo of your well dressed pet on my page. It started out with tuxedo cats (like my Carlos) and blossomed into bunnies, dogs, and even a mag pie. Posting more than once is encouraged.

p.s. Post your favorite Tuxedo on my Facebook page!
