Friday Flowers

Our backyard is usually wet in the spring,

or at least damp. I've ruined many shoes walking

back there not realizing it was too wet until it

was too late. Well, the other day it was nice and dry so I 

wandered back there to check and see what plants

we have left. (My husband is always pulling up stuff.)

I love my peonies and was hoping he hadn't gotten tired of

them and ripped them out. I found them doing ok,

even found an ant on one of the flower heads.

My grandmother always had peonies and I love them. We don't have

all that much room to keep too many of them. I would probably have fields of them if I could!

She always said that if you 

don't have ants on the bushes, you won't get flowers. So I was 

quite glad to see a few ants on the peonies.

Joe also has planted these beautiful flowers right up along the 

whole back of the house. I have no idea what they are but this year they

turned out gorgeous!

On Wednesday when I came home I found a box in by the

front door. In it I found some very sweet and pretty roses.

My oldest son, Daniel, sent me these for Mothers Day!

Wasn't that sweet?

He knows I love flowers, after all I told both my boys that almost every

day when they were growing up! :)
