Eye Candy Friday

June 26, 2020 By Carole

I’m sharing this bouquet of peonies with you today for a very special reason. Today is my darling Dale’s birthday. And peonies are his favorite. I can’t even tell you how grateful I am to get to celebrate this birthday with him . . . I feel that way every year, truthfully . . . but it’s especially poignant this year when I think of what could have been. His trip around the sun since his last birthday has been an interesting one, that’s for certain.

I’d love it if you’d send Dale some birthday love in the comments! And I wish you a weekend full of love and celebrating, whatever you are doing.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear Dale! I wish we could celebrate together with a few, cold and tasty Michigan brews — preferably while listening to a good local band (with maybe some singing on the way home). Someday, we’ll do that again! Enjoy your day! XOXO

    Happy birthday, Dale! I knew you were a good man – and now the news that peonies are your favorite – such good taste!
    My grandmother’s entire driveway had its western edge lined with peonies. They were planted some distance back, but in full bloom almost brushed you as you got out of the car. I would have planted my own here, but Louisiana is too warm to grow them.
    I even loved the little ants that roam across the buds (once I learned that their activity is necessary to allow the peonie buds to open).
