Okay... I'm fairly certain that you guys are sick and tired of watching me moan and groan about the passing of my Peonies... so here it is... the final Peony Post for Spring 2009... and God Bless you all for mourning with me...
Now, jump on over to see Mary at her Dear Little Red House and visit beautiful mosaics on Mosaic Monday... while I go out and pick some wildflowers down here in French Lique...
Such delicate and lovely pastels. They may be the last harvest but we will hope for more blooms the next season. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Dixie, it crossed my mind that my daughter's art project would indeed make a great giant wind sock. Better not suggest it, though, as she spent a couple of hundred hard-earned dollars on materials for it, and it would also scare the neighborhood kids no end flying off the corner of the house!
ReplyDeleteI mourn your peony passing as well. Peonies are my absolute favorite flower in the whole wide world -- although I don't have any growing here. Must remedy that. their only drawback is that their blooming season is so danged short. Maybe we wouldn't appreciate them so much if they bloomed all summer. Yeah, we would.
Thanks for visiting!

so pretty
ReplyDeleteSuch a great mosaic and your peonies are so pretty. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteOh the beauty of this mosaic is speaking to me. I would mourn the passing of peonies too :0)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these beautiful peony images ~ the mosaic is wonderful. I know you are sad to know these are the last blooms of the season, but we cannot even grow them here in southern California. This might be one good reason to move since they have always been one of my favorites.

Dixie,what a pretty mosaic!!
ReplyDeleteYou are super good at these mosaics.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain! It is sad when the peonies are gone. They have such a short bloom life, I wish 'they' could develop a breed that blooms spring-fall.
ReplyDeleteNola
I just popped over for the first time and I love the Poenies. They are my favorite too! All of these Texas blogs make me homesick. Texas was and always be my home. I go back every chance I get,My daughter and 3 grandkids are there. A Texan walking around in Ca.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhh the exquisite Peony, what a beautiful mosaic, it is sad though, I have so enjoyed seeing all the many, many peonies here in blogland, happy MM Dixie, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaic Dixie, and I love peonies too. They bloom for such a short time, but bring such beauty while they do. Have a great week and I'll "see" you Wednesday. Kathy

ReplyDeleteGorgeous peonies! Enjoyed your mosaic, very pretty in pink!
ReplyDeleteOh, so gorgeous! Every year after the peonies pass, I swear I will plant dozens more, but somehow it never happens... Yours are so beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing at Mosaic Monday, Dixie! :)

ReplyDeleteDixie:
ReplyDeleteI have actually found some time this morning and thought I would visit a few of my favorite blogs.
I have been so busy but I really miss keeping up with everyone's posts.
I think of it as having a neighborhood of good friends.
The peonies are lovely and you mosaic is really well done as the colors all blend so nicely.
Have a Wonderful Week!

ReplyDeleteMiss Dixie-

Honestly, I mourn with you. I wish we could grow these in California, but no, we can't. sigh. But I buy each and every one I can find for the short time we can. Love them!! Your photos are to die for.

ReplyDeleteWillow
Dixie, I am so soory about your poenies, they are beautiful and it is shame we have to wait till next year to see them again. I must go to Mary's and learn how to make a mosaic.
ReplyDeleteYou need to come our way, Sharon and I are headed to Malakoff and Athens next week to the shops there, 13 in Malakoff and some in Athens.
Hugs,
Barbara
Peonies are so beautiful that the deserve mourning ;-) Love your mosaic.
ReplyDeleteOh Dixie!
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh. I know you've loved your peonies. Isn't it wonderful to have something you love so much to look forward to? I thought of you the other day when my sweet friend, Susan, (of the 1/2 husband-sweet friend-love story fame) stopped by and brought me a huge bouquet of pink peonies. They are just delish! And I sure have enjoyed them.
Thanks for the tip about the HTML....I was SOOOOOO frustrated.
I have to say, there have been a TON of FABULOUS gals from Texas who have visited me. Do you ALL have hearts the size of TEXAS?? Sooooo sweet, you gals!
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Spencer
I love peonies & your mosaic is beautiful. I could have mourned a little better if I could enlarge the photo though. ☺ diane
ReplyDeleteDixie, your mosaic is beautiful, and what a lovely tribute to the end of your peonies! laurie
