I adore lemon meringue pie, in any season. I thought my eyes were tricking me the other night, but now that you mention lightning bugs, I do think I saw our first of the season, too.

We used to have lots of them around our house. Now they are a rare sight. But we seem to have way more birdlife than before...odd. I love chipmunks. We used to have lots of them around our house.

She scoots each time we approach, but I'm sure we'll hear the chirps of hungry chicks in the near future. A few years back, four were born in the very same spot.

The fragrance is hypnotic. I have one large bush in the front bed of my house, and one in the back. I support them with a garden gizmo and pray for little rain to weigh down their top heavy blooming flower heads.As soon as the flowers start opening, I start cutting and bringing in for vases. I save the budding ones for last, not to miss one chance for glory.I blow off the ants I see and pick off the straglers in the sink as I cut for display.I almost weep when the flower petals start to drop a few at a time, onto the table. It's a very short window for this once a year sweet pink time. And I don't really mind an ant or two climbing a wall. I too have those glorious pink peonies. The fragrance is hypnotic.
