First 2026 Flowery Friday

No idea if people are rolling their eyes at the return of Flowery Friday. But Linda has been out getting flowers, and the ones that live here are starting to come up. Least I can do is appreciate and encourage them.

These ones are from very late April.

8. More of the new plants. They are up on the table and chairs because we have a baby bunny living in the back yard, and we don't want to have it nibbling expensive plants.

9. Look carefully. The very first peony shoots are coming up.

I got asked for an example of one of the unposed photos of Antje.

Flower, or rather, sort of a flower. This is what's left after all the peony blossom petals fall off and a long hard winter.
