Peonies and Parsley!


Sharing, as promised, the beautiful peonies from LIDL.
I'm really enjoying this new to our area store!
I know I'm always raving about Trader Joe's floral offerings, and I always will
 as they are awesome for the money, but on Thursday LIDL also surprised with 
bunches of five pink peonies ($6.99) and I couldn't pass them by without grabbing
 some of the beauty to bring home. I picked a bunch with all the stems still in bud 
and this morning this is how they look. . . . . .the fragrance is just wonderful. 
 I rescued the greenery from the last flowers, all from my garden, still fresh. 
I love the touch of variegated ivy and spray of camellia leaves, but it's definitely
 the tall parsley, now gone to seed, that makes the display for me. I love airy, 
delicate Queen Anne's Lace but this Spring I haven't managed to find any 
growing in a place where I can brake, jump out of the car scissors in hand
and cut some! The parsley, cut from the pot outside the door, fits the bill
 here for me.


A bright and beautiful Saturday morning at the cottage.





 Enjoy your Saturday.
