Peonies

I love these peonies.  These are finished blooming now, but we recently visited north central North Dakota and they are blooming there now.  This plant actually belongs to my daughter, which means this is surviving through four generations. 

The Septic System

The Septic System.Can't live without it!  So when it needs repairing, we do it. How can such a big truck avoid all my interspersed plantings?  The grape vine.  The lilac.  The cherry tree.  The garden beds.  I am happy to say that the workers are careful.  My heart may have pounded rapidly a few times when they got close, but the worst thing is we'll have to re-plant some grass.  And we'll have an improved septic system!
