Heaven help me. Peonies.

[saffronhare]

They're everywhere -- in my neighborhood, along the trails where I walk, and even on ursulav's journal. And I love them so. My adoration of their PINKNESS and their scent and the amazing ruffulous petals is so unbearably romantic. Much to my husband's dismay, I want to fill my garden with all sorts of floweriness: peonies (no! double peonies!)...hydrangeas...even daisies...you name it.

::le sigh::

Somebody bring me my floppy hat and a pair of polka-dotted garden gloves. I am undone.

Amazingly, I hate peonies. I think it's all the ants, or the sheer frivolousness of them (the aforementioned pounded-to-death-in-a-rain-shower structural integrity), etc. I dunno; I'd prefer a good tiger lily, or rose bush, or purple lilac...

Okay, maybe it's not THAT amazing... glad you're enjoying them though.

Oh, you're gonna make me blush now.

You too, dear. I keep forgettting to comment on your new home adventures! Can't wait to see the new pics and hear about your nesting.

That's quite all right. All your peonies are belong to me! (Wow. A typo in there could be real awkward.)

Apropos of nothing, today's word was ABREAST.

I also love peonies. Next year, when I have more money (right) I will get a whole bunch of pink peonies for the yard. Until then, I will enjoy them in other people's yards, and stop and smell them. They smell so wonderful.
