From my garden...

Today is Memorial Day. My peonies are just now beginning to bloom! I usually have large vases of peonies on my table by Mother's Day. It has been such an odd year, weather-wise. These are the first peonies I have brought in this year.

This weekend was also the beginning of the week of the Junior College World Series (JUCO), which takes place 2 blocks from our house. We generally spend the weekend going back and forth to the rowdy ballgames. My husband and father-in-law have been doing that, but it's been windy and chilly and I have gotten hepatitis from a reaction to an antibiotic (Did you know that was possible? I didn't, but I do now!), so I have yet to go to a game. So, how can it really be the end of May already? Peonies just now in bloom, and I have yet to see a pitch thrown out or an ump booed?

Can you see me shaking my head like a bewildered old lady? No? Good!
