Good morning.......

Hi, Foxfyre et al.

What strange times we are living in. Hope the health issues are manageable.

My shoulder is taking ages.

But that’s nothing, compared to some.

Hopefully your shoulder is ok now Mindful

Thank you.

It's going okay, but still hurts with movement. Many people have told me it takes a long time, even the surgeon.

I might do some more physio, after this 'hiatus' is over.

The #meto movement has not caught on in the animal world yet.

Well, got some sunflowers and morning glories planted this weekend.

I hope it's not too late to get them in the ground. We used to get wild morning glories out at the front fence that were the wild pink ones, and they were so PINK! My mother always liked the blue ones, and so do I. The bluer the better. Even so, the pink ones were pretty before I started keeping grass and other weeds out from under the lowest rung of horizontal boards on the fence.

Mindful, I've been missing you lately. I'm sorry to hear your shoulder is bothering you. Hope it gets to feeling better.

Hi there, Beautress. How’s it going with you?

I’ve been getting around, cyberwise (g)

Beautiful weather in my part of the world. I should be in the US right now, but don’t know when that’s going to happen.

At least they’ve opened the borders here.

Hope to get some more of my seeds planted for the flower garden I'm experimenting on.

I planted some flowers that are doing well in the seed starter kits. But I have other packets laying around, if I can get back into the garden when it stops raining. It looks like several days of rain are going to visit us this late spring in Walker County, though. I guess I'm the kid with sugar plum flowers dancing in her head.

I've seen some red clover like these, but I only have one packet ~

And poppies, hope it's not getting too late to plant them ~

And mother used to plant these deep red, giant cockscombs years ago:

It’s peony season ~ albeit short. My favourite flower, I keep buying bunches of them.

I'm okay, even with nonstop asthma. It's 4 am and I've been up since about 1:30 & can't seem to get back to sleep. I may well go to my little sewing room and work on this brown quilt I'm working on this month. It's so plain, tannish centers and assorted light and dark brown florals and geometrics. For the pure fun of it, I think I'll sash them with tiny red strips to bring a little life into them. Or maybe some green leaves print to celebrate trees, which are greener and more lush than I've seen them since childhood in Houston. I live in the country now, and it's so beautiful here before the Dog Days of summer get here.

I've always loved seeing peonies in people's gardens. I'll see if I can find a plant or two of them and will be thinking of you when I see the lovely flowers (if the nursery has any left). Well I know a place. They're expensive, but always well-stocked in the springtime. My roses are loving the rain, bless their poor neglected little hearts. I need to throw some rose plant food their way today!

Let's see if I can find some pictures of peonies:

What lovely creatures the peonies are.

I visited a peony farm/plantation in New Jersey a few years ago. The owner had spent some time in England, had fallen in love with peonies there, and was inspired to grow them and start up a business back in the USA.

And what a sight they were! Rows of them, all colours and variations.
