The garden is really bursting with color this spring. Vibrant shades of blue, pink, green, and white...
An astonishing amounts of blooms.
Just when one tree is winding down, another is eager to take its place...
Butterflies flit here and there, quite drunkenly.
May's been good.
But busy, busy. One's graduating from pre-school another from eighth grade. Chorus and band concerts. Math team state championship, games, finals, and a sixth grade trip to the state capitol.
We've a party this weekend for my oldest. Sweet sixteen. There can't possibly be a sweeter sixteen-year-old on the planet. She's smart, kind, thoughtful, and she makes me laugh. Happy birthday, sweet Margaret, m'love!
I'm hoping the peonies bloom by this weekend. Otherwise, I'll have to go to 'plan b' for the flower arrangements. Do you have anything special planned for Memorial Day?

Birthday blessings to your daughter! Sounds like a busy but happy month at your house too. Fingers crossed for your peonies.
Spring is so beautiful, so great when everything starts turning green and all the buds and flowers come out :)
Beautiful beautiful pics. Looks like your peonies are right ready to open, hope they make it in time for your decorating. Happy graduation to all your graduates, sounds like you're going to be very busy! Hugs ~ Mary
Our peony are weeks past sadly. I have noticed we have changed zones recently too. Your blooms look perfectly on time and well worth the rush of May. Enjoy your wonderful sweet 16. Something we just did with our oldest son. Smiles...Renee
Oh my! I don't think I have ever seen so many peonies that weren't in a public garden. I bet they put on a beautiful display when the all bloom.

Your garden is beautiful!! I hope your peonies bloom in time. Their scent is heavenly! Sounds like May has been full of all the good kind of busy. I miss all that stuff now that mine are more grown up.

Hi Molly! Happy Birthday to your sweet girl! Your flowers are lovely, and your peonies should be in full bloom this weekend! Enjoy! xoxo Debbie
A more lovely garden I haven't seen this spring! I am jealous of the peonies...they do not grow well in our part of the South.
Have a blessed weekend.

Happy Birthday to your sweet daughter! I love the month of May too....so pretty and colourful with the fresh flowers and blossoms and (if we are lucky over here) blue sky. I love your gorgeous photos today, they capture May time beautifully.

Beautiful flower post Molly,I love the colors!!!
hugs.....
Beautiful blooms...beautiful flowers!
That was a very nice party. Your picture of the cupcakes and porceline girl figurine with 16 is so sweet. Did you recently find that or is it vintage. I actually have the 15 version of the same girl figurine... I got it in 1985 so I have had it for 27 years and it is one of my most prized possesions from my Quinceanera (Sweet 15- Mexican Tradition). Thanks for sharing your beautiful party.
