We had a pair hanging around the yard yesterday.<br /><br />Our peonies are on the side of our front yard. It faces the south, which they seem to love. Our neighbor's peonies are already in full bloom. I think they must be a different variety. We also saw what looks like a small peony "tree" in another neighbor's yard. We think it must be some sort of shrub peony variety.<br /><br />FiskeFiskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563358992094908683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140635431552056763.post-69518425781408833182009-05-09T20:02:00.000-05:002009-05-09T20:02:00.000-05:00Wonderful!

Birds and blossoms...<br /><br />I saw my first White-crowned sparrow last year -- we never get black-capped chickadees (only Carolina) but I remember them from my life in the Midwest.<br /><br />I love peonies. My octogenarian neighbor gave me a few peony a few years ago, and it is finally going to give me a bloom this year. I have a couple other peonies in my yard, but Bob's is my favorite.<br /><br />Ours won't bloom for a few weeks.Cedarwaxwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644657373513518914noreply@blogger.com
