Unless hell is lush and green and sparsely populated… Hell, in this instance, was not a location, but the Twilight Zone experience of my ride this morning to the Lehighton area.

Peony Perfection

I’m a little behind in my blogging, but I thought I would share these two photos of lovely white blooms I brought indoors a couple of weeks back. Alas, the bountiful rain and hot, humid days have all but eliminated my peonies outdoors. Those flowers I placed in a green glass container (as I had noContinueContinue reading “Peony Perfection”
