Hi Christina,
Haven't "talked" to you in awhile. I ADORE peonies, I have a huge bunch of pink ones planted on the side of my house and the buds are just about to open. I can't wait to fill my house with their fragrance! I'm always stunned at the speed with which these plants grow...just 3 weeks ago they were only about a foot high, now they are about 4' high! What color are yours?
The apple smoked cheese sounds and looks delightful.
Happy Earth Day, peonies are a favorite of mine, I just love this time of year. Love your morning
i am a peony lover too! love your blog also. :)
hi ridgely* our peonies are white and we have pink also. Swoon! i love them. http://soulaperture.blogspot.com/2009/06/peonies-at-home.html
i just love them so very much. and our butterflies do, as well. : ) xo
Oh it's nearly peony season for the rest of you again. So jealous!! You'll be out there with your camera, I know!
a lovely picture. happy earth day to you and all your happy flowers, bushes, and trees.
happy earth day!
Sounds like Heaven. Happy Earth Day!
Oh yes, I am looking forward to the peonies, too. I have one plant that belonged to my mother -- it must be close on 50 years old, and still going strong. :)
I love your photo today. You make such beautiful food photos! Do you know the blog "Cannelle et Vanille?" Her food photos are to die for!
Hope you have a wonderful Earth Day. :)
Happy Earth day to you too! You are making me hungry with that photo - it's gorgeous as usual! :) And Peonies - major swoon! xxoo :)
Earlier this week I took a walk through the Chinese Gardens in Portland and fell in love once more with peonies. They are lovely.
Happy Earth Day darling Christina. Sometimes when I see that new growth I just want to bury my face in the soil and inhale the sweet smell of it. But, then I'd look crazy...
marisa* this cheese is amazing. it has such a deep smokey flavor, it seems as though i am eating a grilled meat. i love it. i got it at the grocery store.
xo
I could almost reach in and stuff those goodies into my mouth...yum!
Happy Earth Day to You! Thanks for making the world a better place.
I first saw the photo and my mind immediately said, "Oh, put those together!!" Toast them - melty gooey cheese, crusty bread, sweet jam. Bliss.
The *thought* of peonies growing fills my heart with joy at the possibilities. Bliss
And..you have coffee. Bliss
All in all, a great day!
Thanks for letting us in on it!
Delicious. lovely post!
Sounds like a sweet and slow way to enjoy and take in the day.
Happy Earth Day to you too :-) your peonies are beautiful - pure delight! I just wonder what would their smell do to my allergies ... I don't get it - I love every bit of mother nature and I can't enjoy this beautiful blooming of everything around me without sneezing, coughing and seeing the Beauty through my teary eyes - that's unfair!! lol. have a beautiful day Christina
I adore peonies too! I'm sure you'll be sharing some beautiful photographs with us. I'll be patiently waiting.
that cheese, jam and bread look delicious. i don't beleive my white peony is going to bloom this year for some reason. oh i do love it when it does.
