I walked home from class yesterday and was greeted by this beautiful peony blossom by my front door. I planted these peonies over a year ago realizing full well that we may not live in Baltimore long enough to see them blossom (they can take a while to get established), so I was absolutely giddy to see two buds (two!) on one of the plants this year. And now that we'll be here for at least two more years (I'm starting a new program in the fall and Ben is adding on an MPH this year), we'll get to enjoy these beauties for a while. And if Ben matches for residency here (and I write my dissertation here) then it will be six (six!) beautiful summers of these. And they smell divine. And I need to learn how to enjoy their scent without getting light-headed.
These jumbo pots of superbells on my porch make me happy, too. Although sometimes I kind of want to eat them.
And the fact that I graduate two weeks from today makes me beyond uebergluecklich. Especially since my mom, sister, and adorable niece-lette are coming out for the dance party.
I. Love. Peonies. I'm so happy yours are blooming this year! I'm sure they made an extra effort for you, knowing you are graduating and how busy you've been and all. Your devotion to and love for your garden inspires me. Maybe someday I'll take it up myself.
