You breathe such life into words. What a legacy of living you share within them!

I hope so! That's one of the greatest desires of a mama's heart, isn't it? Just for them to feel I've loved them well when it's time for me to go. It might take a lifetime for them to realize, I guess. :)

I saved this all day to sit in the quiet of the evening to savor your words. What a lovely way to end my day. My peonies are still snug nice and tight while the ants do their work. Soon, soon they will be unveiling their beauty and I will share mine with you.

Thank you for sharing a bit of your world, your heart here.

You make my heart smile. I CANNOT wait to see your peonies. I had such a fun photo shoot with my little wild one 🩷

I check them daily and even cheer on those little ants working on them. I really don’t have a clue if they help the bloom but they seem to like each other. 🤎🐜🌸

The peonies. I had white ones and pink ones and deep rose ones--and all the ants that came with them. My MIL had planted them, and I loved them so much. The ants not so much. I always breathe a little slower when I read your words.
