Peonies On The Prairie





Peonies are blooming 
as nature's fragrant sweet perfume 
filling the room with aroma 
not easily forgotten.

A soft shade of blush pink 
with a faint flowery scent of freshness.

By Memorial Day
the neighborhoods will have their share of
beautiful flowers on display to enjoy.

These large blossoms are
nature's original parfum,

I love your pale pink peonies Deanna. Thanks for sharing the photo. Our peonies won't bloom until June here in our colder zone 4 in central Wisconsin. We are enjoying the first fragrance of Purple Lilacs in our yard right now.

Hi Deanna, when we lived up North, we too had lovely peonies like yours....I miss them terribly, and that amazing fragrance that you mention. They don't grow... or won't grow well here in Southeast Texas.
We do however have roses all winter and pansies and such.
I do not post to my blog very often, as I have little to report most times, being a rather inactive senior citizen, due to Fibromyalgia and a few other things that keep me "down on the farm".
I KNOW EXACTY what you mean about weight gain...I take a med called Lyrica, and the Doc. said the very SAME thing about it when I started gaining weight...but find it to be almost 80% factual about the med. when talking to other women who are on it.
HA~ We don't really live on a farm, but, like yourself, we have a LOVABLE home that we have been enjoying now for the past 16 years. You would love it too. I call it our Summer, Victorian, Shabby Chic "cottage".... 2,400 square feet of it.
I have to say, you and I could be sisters , I looked at your avatar photo...and find we look a lot alike, so much so, that I wondered how my picture was posted here...LOL. I am sure I am older however.
I'm glad you like my imges on my blog, I find so many enjoyable ones on Pinterest and such.

Love, Rose

Kathy, Peonies are such a beautiful flower, I think if they'd grow in your neck of the woods, you'd like them a lot.

Sherry, They are so pretty.

Art, U da man.

Mrs. D, Lilacs are one of my favorites. We are just a tad bit warmer here in Kansas. Usually lilacs are in bloom around May 1st and I love them.

Laura, I like them so much.

Rose, Your home sounds lovely! Very sorry about the fibromyalgia.

Thanks all for visiting and sharing a comment!

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
