Saturday, May 9th...I got the Flowers. Cloudy and Damp here in Maine...


 My sister in law mentioned dividing my very old peonies...since they don't do much these days but send up leaves.   Will involve a shovel...unless daughter digs them up for me...  dividing I can do.

With that on my mind I went looking for free images of peonies...and here is one.

My grandmother had a long bed of these flowers....and I spent lots of daylight time with my grandmother. so it's in my DNA I guess...to like plants and flowers. And remember my lovely grandmother. 

I'm more like her with each passing decade.  She colored her white hair...I don't.  She patched and mended everything recalling the time in life after she got off the boat in America when she had nothing.  I patch and mend my 25 cent pants and my Goodwill sweaters.  And will until there is only patches...

She was 16.  When she arrived in America.

Well, I have things to do and a nice start on something I have never done before...way out of my regular zone.  I had hoped to add Lactiva Threads to it...but they would hardly be noticed... so I'll go with something plain... and make a new Lactiva Thread Platform.

Enjoy the Beauty of this flower....drawn and painted by a very gifted artist.  Unknown. To Me..To you.
