Sweet Breath of Peace

First Peonies
Since we leave on Thursday for California, we are racing around to finalize the last of the garden planting, mowing, loads of laundry, and generalized picking up, after a crazy weekend of celebratory, school is out activity.  Whew.

Then as I run from task to task tonight, 
I saw these beauties.  
Our first peonies of the season;
open, smiling, and breathing
the sweet breath of peace into my evening.
