Peony Garden | From Last Week's Tour

Here is another photo from last week's tour sponsored by the Garden Club of Somerset Hills. I tend to think peonies are poorly engineered plants with flowers too big and heavy to be supported by their spindly stems, at least that has been my experience. These beautiful specimens don't seem to have that problem. Maybe mine aren't mature enough since I just transplanted them less than a month ago. I'll let you know if I change my mind next year. I did find a great site dedicated to Peonies. Posting it here will help me bookmark it for myself.

We are having San Francisco weather here today. Reminds me of this famous quote: "The coldest winter I ever spent was one summer in San Francisco." Mark Twain

Mark Twain quote about spring . . .

Illustrated Quote by Mark Twain posted on the first day of Spring. The snow has already melted and now my lawn is full of robins!

This is so true...especially today. I woke up to snow. Two hours later it has already melted. Such a strange and wonderful first day of spring.

What is it like in your neck of the woods?

Mark Twain | How to get ahead . . .

I have been working on my taxes for the past few days and followed Mark Twain's advice. It worked and I will soon be finished. Hooray!
