My Peonies

I can take very little credit for the beautiful, photogenic row of peonies that line my drive.

They are a hardy and reliable bunch that ask very little of me.

I weed and mulch them.

Sometimes I fertilize them.

And they come back to me every year.

This year they offered fewer blooms, but held up against worse weather than our previous 5 Springs.

They humbly suggested that I feed, weed and mulch them this year.

Then they struck a pose and smiled warmly.
