@rwinney, Ahhhh, these are beauteous. Methinks it takes an incredible mom to rear such a loving son!!! Thank you so much for sharing these pics with us..so soft and lovely.

@lioness, If you can walk 2 miles, surely I can push myself around a few more blocks…maybe, I’ll try for 3 more blocks tomorrow. Thanks for the motivation.

@gingerw. Our city is wide open after a 2 week “stay in place” from gov. A friend and long time smoker called yesterday to say she has a manicure appt. Friday. No manicures for me; enough to keep mine clean from playing in the dirt. Vbg While I’m desperate for a hair cut, I asked her to give my stylist a hello. Just wish I could share a video of how easily one dining in patron could share the virus…used a fake powder and black light for video. Another friend ventured into 2 clothes shops while she and staffs wore masks, majority of shoppers did Not. Friend has chronic sinus condition and didn’t linger but her report confirmed for me that people here will continue to disregard guidelines and prolong the dreaded virus spread.

@merpreb, Laughing Merry because your “roots have roots” and my bangs are becoming a pigtail over my nose!

@jimhd, Your mixed bed sounds lovely! I’ve not tried peonies, any special tips for them?

@fiesty76 I don't have any tips about peonies. I remember my mother had a corner of the back yard for roses and peonies when I was young. They don't like getting dried out. I think that it's good to cut out the dead stalks before the new spring growth comes up. I've had some mildew that needed attention. I'm sure there are things I should be doing to them. We've found that the blooms aren't good cut flowers, but are best enjoyed on the bush. They do have beautiful, showy flowers.

Hi there! Thanks so much. I hoped others would appreciate the beauty as I did. And my son....don't get me started on what an incredible boy, now man (26) he is! Thanks for the compliment.
