Hello June (First Peonies)
My white peonies are always the first to open. They close up at night and haven't awakened yet this morning. I was thrilled to see them yesterday when I took this photo. Welcome June! I have high hopes for your in the garden. xo

Memorial Day Flags near My Cottage
There was a ceremony this morning at the little park around the corner but I missed it. I drove by later to see all the flags blowing in the wind to honor our fallen heroes. By afternoon, the sky was blue, filled with white fluffy clouds. Still on the chilly side but at least there was no rain. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY. xo

Blackberry Winter at My Cottage
I broke down and turned on my heat this morning. I can't believe how cold my cottage is and my hands are like icebergs. I have put away almost everything related to winter, my draft dodgers under all my doors, my down comforter, and other things like that. My mother used to call this weather Blackberry Winter but summer doesn't officially start for another three weeks. I found this royalty-free image of blackberry leaves encased in a hoar frost and I thought it was perfect.
Enjoy the Memorial Day Weekend and stay warm if you have unseasonably cold weather too. xo

Pansy Photo Turned into An Etching
This is a repost from May 31, 2016. Something is wrong with Google and I cannot blog anything new. I deleted some of the text because my peonies have not yet bloomed and in 2016 they were on their way out and it was really hot. It is a very pleasant 72° and I haven't turned on my air conditioning yet.
I haven't used my iPhone app called Etchings lately but I enjoyed playing around with it this morning. I love the way the pansies turned out, don't you? I think the app turned my photo into an old hand colored engraving.
Enjoy your evening and I'll see you tomorrow. xo
