I just love peonies. (Doesn't it look like a work of art? Even with the ant hanging on upside down!)

From the beginning when they are pretty little balls with raindrops (and ants) on them.
To the big luscious blooms....
That hardly fit in the viewfinder.

I've been doing a bit of gardening and I've got a set of before and after pictures for you. This obviously is the before. Kinda sad looking.
And here is the after. Ahh, much better.

And here is the knitting I'm currently working on. It's Traveling Woman by Liz Abinante. Love it. It's a quick knit. I'm already on Chart B.
The yarn is Cherry Tree Hill that was free from Sheri at The Loopy Ewe when I became a Loopy Groupie. Fun....and very generous!

I'd be even further along but I've been reading a lot lately. The last one was over the weekend and it was "the beach street knitting society and yarn club" by Gil McNeil.
She's got a sequel too and I'm hoping to find it when I get to a big town again because this was just a fun read. I could hear the British accent in my head while I read and it was so witty in places that I laughed out loud. Perfect for summer reading.
Well, my 90+ year old neighbor just keeps mowing his lawn and I have to try to keep up to him so I better get outside and get busy! Catch ya later! :)
