friday favorites: peonies.

hi. my name is ashlye and i have a problem.

we have 3 peony bushes in our yard and they are literally exploding with blooms this year.

and i am currently obsessed with them.  every evening i go out and cut more fresh ones. my house is filled with them.  i have enough blooms...and more opening every day so far...to have fresh flowers in every room.  not that i need to, but i could.

and i'm sitting here at my desk with two glorious blooms and every so often i can smell them and it is just delightful.

along with cutting new blooms every evening, i then take pictures of them. every. evening. i seriously must have a problem.  but they are so beautiful.  and i want to take these images and blow them up on a canvas and hang them all over the house.  todd probably wouldn't be a fan... a little too girly for him, but i will have one of these hanging somewhere.  won't that be a lovely reminder of spring/summer come winter-time? (i cannot even think about that again at the moment)

i cannot even count how many blooms we'll have this year and if they expand each year, i cannot imagine what next year will look like (i cannot wait!! lol)

happy friday my friends.  

p.s. sorry for the lack of posts this week.. i was home most of it with a sick kiddo (strep. boo.) but now he's on the mend and i have several posts drafted for next week.  lots of summer fun coming your way!  have the most wonderful weekend!
