GETTING CREATIVE- this is my little creative corner in the world where I have my music, my stories sometimes combined with my music (read the story and you’ll find the song), poems (or really, really short stories as I like to call them 😉), audio stories and audio poems (for those of you who prefer to listen), my digital drawings and sometimes I even throw in some quotes or photos for inspiration 😊.

Those are gorgeous! I love peonies but have never been able to grow them well.
Oh, thank you. You must try again. They are the “easiest” and the prettiest floral. Try again. x
I will. 🙂
Plant in the fall. Give them a few years.
I have one feeble perennial peony and will feed it something good this year and hope for the best for next year. Might even buy a buddy for it, now that you’ve inspired me.
They’re beautiful Lynne, full of the bounty of spring 🙂
