pretty pink peonies

My friend has a whole row of peonies along her driveway.

Last Saturday morning after some heavy rainfall, I went down

to see how the peonies survived.

The white ones were drooping on the ground but the pink ones

were still pretty gorgeous.

I think peonies look like beautiful roses don't you?

some daisies are blooming in with this bush

And here is the proverbial ant crawling on the peony.

I read on another blog that ants are very good for peonies

as they eat the bad bugs that could destroy the blooms.

I remember sitting in church on a hot Sunday morning and

watching the ants crawling all over the peony blossoms

in the vases at the front of the platform.

I was always afraid they might crawl down and across

the floor and up my legs!  Silly me.  Little

did I know that they prefer the peony.

Come and sit a spell at Billy's Butternut Country Market.

Have a coffee and donut or muffin.

Visit with your friends and neighbours.

I love Saturday mornings in the country.

Well, actually I love every day in the country!

And,

I love pretty pink peonies too!
