Every spring, Baba’s huge-blossomed, rose-like fragrant peonies lined the south wall of their house in St. Paul, Alberta.
Bouquets showed up at the front of the church and on dining room tables, along with the occasional ant trying to escape across a white table cloth - unsuccessfully!
My wonderful memories of Baba include her meticulous double lot yard and garden and her love of flowers.
Each spring I buy a bouquet at Trader Joe's in honor of Baba.
ReplyDeletePink peonies always make me think of that tall, shirred pink hat Baba wore for some dress-up occasions!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting in anticipation for the dark burgundy peony bush in my front yard to bloom! L

DeleteLove the light and shadows, lighter and deeper shades on the close-up!
