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.
