My Peonies Have Popped
It is cool and overcast this morning, perfect for photographing my peony patch. My white ones with the huge yellow centers are in full bloom. I can still look forward to the pink ones on the right and the magenta ones on the left that are still in the tight bud stage. Have a great weekend! xo

Daisy Portrait
I have one lone daisy in my meadow so far. I snapped this pic on my walk with Webster yesterday evening.
A House Wren in My Bird Bottle
I have several of these handmade redware pottery bird bottles from Colonial Williamsburg hanging on my house. This one is on the back of my cottage so I can see and enjoy it from my balcony. It was fun watching the nest building earlier in the spring. Want one? Order here while they have free shipping. The two centuries old HISTORY behind these authentic bird bottles can be read here. Enjoy!
I got as close as I could with my iPhone in hand before Jenny Wren flew away. I promise not to bother her again while she hatches her babies. If you want to see an old blog post of mine with a photo of a bird nest I removed from one of these bottles on the front of my house, click here. I had to remove it when I had my cottage painted two years ago.
PS--I woke up earlier than ever this morning. Sigh.

Early To Bed
via
Good Night Sweet Friends. Sleep Tight. xo
For some reason I've been waking up way too early lately and my mind starts racing immediately. I don't have any personal problems, but lots of real estate issues prior to a closing next month. This dog looks the way I feel when I fall into bed each evening. Early to bed and early to rise isn't really my preferred style but that's the way my body has been working lately. I'll be glad when it decides to return to normal.
Angel Keeping Watch Over A Grave
This lichen covered antique marble angel is so very lovely. She's looking over someone's departed earth angel. via
