As promised, here are my red and white peonies opened up showing their yellow centers. I completely forgot they close up in the late afternoon and are still closed in the early morning. They are like me, they go to bed early and open slowly the next day. I shall watch them closely this morning to see what time they fully open and awake. For me, it's after two cups of coffee.
I love this quote:
"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things."
Henry Ward Beecher
Another view of my front garden from from farther back. I clipped all 15 of my American boxwood earlier this week and they look neat and tiny now. The large one left center is an English box I transplanted my garden when I moved. It is the mate for the two at the end of my front walk at the driveway. I didn't clip this one at all.
Enjoy your Sunday. xo

I love boxwood. We had lots of it when I was growing up in New Vernon and every time I smell it, it takes me back.Smells are so powerful to trigger memories, aren't they?
Rosemary, your peonies and plantings are lovely---especially pretty framed by the spruces behind them.
Your garden is bursting with growth and beauty, looking so happy and healthy.
I really like that quote, it's so true but so hard for much of the world to recognize.
