My peonies were looking pretty spent so I ventured out into the drizzle to pick some new flowers to take their place.  The mosquitoes were out en masse so I hacked these stems off as quickly as I could and just plopped them into the vase.

They don’t look like something arranged by a florist but that perky yellow sure is cheery when you come in the front door.

The living room got some new colour too – purple.

Every room needs a little purple, right?
