Good morning! It’s Monday—and it’s June’s last day with us. She spend much of yesterday packing up her things. At midnight, she boards her celestial chariot and rides away.
I'm thankful to Trader Joes for bringing me peonies in California! I no longer have a garden and peonies don't grow here anyway, but TJs lets me enjoy cut ones every spring - in the moment and in memories of NH. (rabbit, rabbit rabbit...welcome July)
Your home must smell glorious from those three beauties. And honeysuckle on the way… an aromatic delight! We finally rolled into your sense-ational state last night and after 14 hours arrived at camp. Ahhhh, what a delight to be back.
Just wow!
Stunning! Thank you for the joy of their beauty.
I just love Peonies! My Granpa had them growing with roses near the farmhouse. I love how the ants crawl inside and help the blooming process along.
Oh that's beautiful. I've been a bit down this morning missing the east. This gave me hope again..
You weave such whimsical stories, which we definitely need more of these days. And the quote is so true!
Summer is flying by !
Thanks! And I’m sure it does. Question is, did his musing help him solve the case—I only remember snippets from the story.

The scent of Honeysuckle calls summer into full swing. It’s delightfully intoxicating.
Those peonies! (Do you happen to know what story the ACD quote comes from?)
Yup! It's from The Adventure of the Naval Treaty. Holmes was musing on a rose but I like to think what he said applies to all flowers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventure_of_the_Naval_Treaty
Whoosh! Seems we only just finished dancing June in!
From fullness to becoming delicate as summer unfolds. So thankful for the fragrance of flowers 🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼and you.
I love the fragrance of honeysuckle . Can smell it before I see it - what a treat. !
I am having a love affair with the peonies. They have become my favorite flower. June flew by and July will soon meet us.
