Peonies and Clover Blossoms

My pink peonies are blooming now and they are so beautiful.

I have fields of blooming clover that are spectacular. I can't remember such a profuse first blooming cycle and I don't have the heart to mow over them. The bees are having a "field" day.

Sliding Barn Doors in A House Nearby

I am still fascinated by sliding barn doors inside a home.

The door with the handle slides open to reveal stairs up to the attic and a large storage area for suitcases. So nice!

The Pink Peonies Turned White

They are fully opened now. The pale pink peonies that I have been showing you as they open are now in full flower and they are bright white now.

Dog and Cat Cutouts on Gate

These gates are on actress Reese Witherspoons Ojai, California home. See the cat and dog cutouts? I love this whimsical touch, don't you? via

Love This Garden Path

Isn't this fabulous? I love this cut logs used as path pavers. I love the crowded plantings too in this small space. It all works beautifully! via

Peony Progress

I took these photos this morning. The peony bud I showed you last night is almost open.

Here's one that is letting me peek inside to see the center. I'm so happy!

My Peonies are About to Pop

How does your garden grow?

It won't be long now. I've been waiting patiently for at least one peony bud to bloom and there are three outside my front door that look like this. I hope the hard rain we are expecting doesn't do any damage. Fingers crossed! xo
