Birthday Flowers
Today is my birthday and to tell you the truth, in recent years I have not felt like making a big deal out of my birthday. I don’t love the idea of getting another year older. For my birthday this year I hung out with friends yesterday to do a belated celebration for a friend, an early celebration for me, and a really belated celebration for a few other friends who had birthdays in the past 1-2 months but were unable to celebrate due to lockdown. We went to Top Golf in the morning and I actually wasn’t too bad! Then, we hung out for the rest of the day. Today,…

Hers bloom without fail every year and then she cuts them back when the flowers fall off and then they regrow/bloom. I have one orchid plant at my condo and while I was watering mine recently I thought it would make for a useful blog post to show how to…

Peonies
At my parents house, they have peonies growing in two spots. A little section next to the driveway and one little spot in the backyard by the deck. I don’t remember when they planted the peonies, but they’ve been there for as long as I can remember. Peonies are so beautiful and I hate that they bloom for such a short amount of time. Seriously, they only bloom for maybe 2 weeks and if there’s a bad storm while they’re in bloom then forget about it. They’ll all be drooping and the petals will have fallen off. They’re pretty much all gone now, but when I walked over to my…
