And when my SIL, the award winning landscape designer, gave her recommendations for what to do with our overgrown yard, it was the only plant she recommended I move. When she said it was a peony, I was shocked. It didn't look like anything to me at the time. Besides, it was right in the middle of the corner we'll be developing as our "outdoor living room", so it had to go. It's now in a sunnier part of the yard, which I hope it likes, and as long as it grows, even if it does not bloom, I will be happy. Really, I'll be amazed at everything that survives and thrives under my care. I am so not a green thumb!

    One of mine bloomed for the first time last summer. I think I'd moved it once, thus delaying first bloom til age 4 or 5. Worth waiting for, though. Lovely! And yes, they like sun. Good luck with yours!
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    I have registered my oldest for kindergarten! Wow, what a weird feeling.

    The new pup is doing great - she's adapted well to her new family and thoroughly enjoys "treeing" the cats and baying to her heart's content when she does.

    I'm going to have to look up this body worlds thing now. It does sound exceptionally creepy. Ewwwww.

    Have a great day!

    a stranger feeling is cutting your son's hair and discovering grey hairs above his ears.

    Mimi- I found my first grey at 19, wonder how my mom felt hearing that? MY dad has a gorgeous head of silver hair, I know who to thank for mine!

    Why did my doctor feel he had to tell me ways to prevent a UTI? I do all those and still got one, thanks buddy! At least my boss told me to take the afternoon off without asking questions. Must be that I wasn't wearing makeup and looked pretty rough. Might be because he admitted having a hangover. Who has a hangover on Monday?

    Your boss has a hangover, apparently. I hope you feel better soon.

    roguedog----that's a good one "good fuel" (I must remember that one), but I think the way I was sputtering and weezing, I must have been sucking the fuel from the bottom of the tank...
