Late spring is a beautiful time around our homestead. The tulips and daffodils are making their final encore, the iris' are in full bloom, the catmints are forming frothy purple mounds, and the lavender is reaching for the sky in preparation for it's stunning summer display. Everything's fresh and green, and has yet to overgrow it's space. This is my favorite time to wander throughout the property. I actually begin my morning routine this way. I step out the door in my garden clogs with a mug of coffee in hand, and I meander slowly throughout the yard. I pause here and there to admire a glorious bloom, compliment a healthy plant, or encourage a young seedling. And sniff a peony--there's nothing like the scent of a freshly unfurled peony blossom in the morning. It's moments like this that renew my mind, refresh my spirit, focus my thoughts. It's a peaceful time for me, a few moments of quiet before the day's chores and challenges roll my way. Oh, how I yearn for this! Especially the peonies...
