Memorial Day 2024

Monday, May 27, 2024



Above pictures taken about a week ago. The bridal wreath spirea in Andrea's yard really came back nicely this year. We were really worried about it based on what is looked like last year. 

                                                                  

Here are the peonies about a week ago. 





And here they are now. 

                       

Cigar today too.

A Weekend In May: Sunday

Sunday, May 12, 2024

The peony bush is really doing well. The flowers should pop pretty soon. 

                      

Quite warm. I believe we hit the 80s in early April but I think this is the first time we've done so in May. Canadian fire season has begun and it became more obvious here this afternoon. 

                      

Fit in a couple Romeo y Julietas.

Odds and Ends

Sunday, June 4, 2023

A couple of peonies are coming in on the side of the house. 




Salvia's starting to come in too. 



Brought a few peonies inside. 



Hot one today. Thankfully not too humid. Feelin' like summer.

Memorial Day Weekend 2023 - Peonies

Sunday, May 28, 2023


The peony bush is getting big and tall enough that it's starting to droop. I need to put up some supports.

Memorial Day Weekend 2022 - Monday

Monday, May 30, 2022

The peony bush Deb gave us a few years ago is really full this year. No flowers yet, but close. Andrea in Jean's old house and Josh and Breanna and their kids in Deb's old house have been out in the yard a lot this weekend. It's nice to see folks outside. 

The whirly birds are dropping from the silver maples pretty heavily. Last year was a massive drop so hopefully this year won't be as bad.

Increasing Humidity

Monday, June 7, 2021

Beautiful walk with Athena this morning. Very comfortable temp-wise. As I write this at 5:20 p.m. it is 93 degrees and so much more humid than what we’ve experienced in this little heat wave. Pictured above are some neighbor's peonies which I photographed this morning.

Peony

Our peony bush seems to be allowing only one flower at a time. However, there are a couple other buds...

Peonies


These photos were taken just a little over a week ago and feature the white peonies in our own yard. Deb gave me these a couple years ago and this is the first year they've flowered nicely. Although they've since faded they sure were gorgeous.

Peonies


June is here and the peonies have been lovely. The above are a neighbor's from about a week ago. We had pink peonies at the house on Stevens although I think ours were of a lighter variety.

Peonies

The peony bush got its first flower. I don't know about you, but I think it looks a little scrappy.

Peonies

Deb gave me some peonies a couple growing seasons ago. This is the first year they've shown signs of budding. Can't wait for flowers!

Ant on Peony Bud


Peony Buds

Can't wait for the peonies to bloom. I planted some during the late part of summer in 2012. Deb was getting rid of them and asked me if I wanted them. They came back in 2013 but no flowers. They're back again this year but I'm not seeing any buds. I'll keep my fingers crossed. The ones pictured above are on Warren's blooming boulevard. I remember when my family moved into the house on Stevens so many years ago. There must have been about 10 peony bushes lined up along where the driveway bordered the yard. I remember watching the ants crawl over the buds and, being so young and not in the know about such things, asked Mom why they were doing this. She said they actually helped the buds open and that there must be something on the buds they liked.

Peonies

I'm seeing lots of peonies in the neighborhood starting to bloom.

Mark's Peonies

Mark, our neighbor across the street, has some peonies growing on his blooming boulevard. I grew up with pink peonies but think the white ones are pretty too. The smell of them brings me right back to the backyard of the house on Stevens.

Leo's Peonies

My cousin Leo lives in Washington D.C.  He posted this picture of his peonies.
