Spring pretties

This peony was given to me about 10 years ago by my friend Diane H.  Even though it's planted in kind if a sketchy place (more rocks than dirt,I think)it has flourished and has about 8 or 10 buds on it this year.  They start out dark and as,the,blossom opens it fades to pink.  Such a beautiful flower.  Thanks to my friend for so many years of beauty! 

Don't ever go away again

My co-worker went on vacation for a week - her dog went to the local doggy spa for a vacation while she was gone, but Marilyn the cat had to stay home. 

This is how Angie found her pets the first night she was home - Marilyn was going to make sure that her pal didn't leave again.
