My first #hobonichi entry with text AND a sketch AND a photo. It would look so much cooler if I knew kanji, though. http://t.co/rDuIPQv5TN

Winter in my back yard #nofilter instagram.com/p/igv6C3NU_X/
[Taken 9 May 2013]
This currently unidentified red flower peony Alexander Woolcott bloomed before I could get my landscaper in to help identify all the plants and flowers on my property. The long leaves in the foreground belong to this plant; the wider ones in the back are the hollyhocks’ leaves (long before they bloomed).
It got cut to the ground with the rest of the perennials during the fall cleanup, so hopefully it comes back next Spring so I can try to figure out what it is. I really liked it.
Update, 12/30: I Googled double red flower yellow center to find images that looked like the above, and I’m 95% sure this is peony Alexander Woolcott. Given the number of other peonies on the property, I’m not surprised.
It really should not take me this long to craft a Christmas In Pictures blog entry. One night to choose the images, one to edit… #momlife
Some inner thoughts don’t need to be tweeted or blogged. Some just need to be written out longhand to get them out, and that’s that.
