There is more than a million details and projects to complete before we head to Spokane next week for the Farm Chicks Show.
Truthfully probably more than a million…
to say I’m a wee bit stressed, might be the understatement of the year…
I have LOTS of inventory, mostly ready to price and load in the trailer.
What has me STRESSED is my peonies, I am so bummed…
Generally I have buckets of fresh cut peonies to decorate my space.
Typically I’m worried they will be past their prime…
Does this look like a bud that will be ready to dazzle the masses in less than a week?
How about these?
I have 18 peony bushes, and not one is looking like it will pull through…
With all the horrific weather reports around the country, it seems a little ridiculous to be complaining about our lousy weather…
The report is for only one sunny day before we leave ….
I love peonies,
but I’m not the only one…
Ants love peonies,
Auntie’s love peonies…
I’ll be back before we leave with a peony report and maybe even a few sneak peaks of what will be coming with us in the trailer.
Oh no!!! I adore peonies! I hope you have beautiful blooms in time for the show!!

Remember me--Verna's sister in Spokane. We just talked with my husbands parents in Silverton and they said they had to put their peonies in warm water to decorate for Memorial Day.They usually have to put them in the refrigerator to make them last until then At 88 I figure they know what they are doing! Can't wait until this coming weekend. FUN FUN FUN. See you at the Farm Chicks, Betty
ReplyDeleteJoy, peonies and lilacs are my favorite flowers. My lilacs are blooming like crazy. My peonies are not liking me this year, sigh. Wishing you a beautiful weekend at Farm Chicks. Miss you!
ReplyDeleteLove those peonies, I have never had gotten very good luck growing them, I guess this is not the year to try again. See you at Farm Chicks! Hugs! Florence
ReplyDeleteAll the peonies in my yard are gone due to storms here.(Missouri) I do have a few buds and took them inside but they haven't opened yet
