I feel giddy and witty and bright. Or at least I did until I woke two nights ago\u00a0with a super duper sore throat. That ain’t supposed to happen smack dab in the middle of spring gardening season. Nature is\u00a0a riot of blooms. She’s\u00a0calling all pollinators. She’s itching to be ogled.\u00a0And I am\u00a0spending more time on the sofa than in yard. Dagnabbit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"More<\/a>
Tiger and me back in the year ought 6. More of\u00a0this than divide and conquer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I did manage a few forays into the garden–dividing, replanting and watering–somehow having imagined\u00a0that garden giddiness would trump blazing sore throat. Ever so often, I go outside\u00a0to\u00a0take snaps and pull a few weeds. But then the sofa beckons.<\/p>\n

These white peonies were here when we moved in, and they are showstoppers. In fact, there’s a succession of peony blooms for several weeks. Last year I brought them\u00a0inside after discovering it’s not nearly as hard to cut a flower when there are so darn many. This year it’s a bit more challenging, because, you know, kitties.<\/p>\n

\"Paeonia<\/a>
Paeonia NOID – there are three of these white Paeonia, ever so swoon-worthy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"White<\/a>
White Paeonia – crazy glorious and plentiful blooms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"So<\/a>
So much easier to cut when there are lots. Nature!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"White<\/a>
White peony blooms galore. Bouquet anyone? I’m serious.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So back to the cold front. I’d be interested to know if anyone else experiences colds\u00a0the way I do, where it passes through like a storm, hitting one side for a day or two, and then moving on to the other. I’ve mentioned this to several doctors, and they look at me as doctors typically do: hmmph! That’ll be $367, and good luck. I’d be so much happier to just spend the money on plants!<\/p>\n

Right now, my cold is\u00a0stalled\u00a0on the right. The bummer is, I know it’s not on its way out until it moves to the left, and spends the same number of days there. Is this normal?I Is there anyway to shortcut it? To keep it from moving to the other side? I’d most happily trade a bouquet of peonies for an answer to this burning question.<\/p>\n

Bill came home from work yesterday and declared that it is officially Gin & Tonic season. Woe was me. My Happy Hour was\u00a0tea and ibuprofen. But I am happy to report, the guys\u00a0came through with a fabulous pot of chicken\u00a0soup.<\/p>\n

It can’t be long to for a return to\u00a0garden giddiness now.<\/p>\n

\"Soup<\/a>
Soup makes everything better.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n
