Another in a series of Photo Friday remembrances of springtime. The blooms are short-lived, but for those few weeks, my fences are abloom with peonies of pink and white.

Perhaps next year I’ll try saving some of the buds in the fridge and see if they really will “hibernate” and bloom a few weeks out-of-season when put in a vase.

Planning to get through the barren days of winter by reliving my first Spring in my new home. These hyacinths (pink, purple, and grape) came up in April in the flower bed along the back of the house.

Next Spring, after they bloom and die back, I plan to transplant them to the front fence in an effort to further beautify the flower beds that actually face the road.
