Peony Time

I've been watching my peony plant get ready to bloom.

 In no time at all it just POPPED!

 Love these big flowers!

It's Like Magic

 It's so magical. I go to work and the lawn needs mowing and when I come home WOW! my lawn is mowed. It's like there's a gardener elf at our house!

 Isn't that nice! And look the new peonies are blooming!

 That little pink guy needs a little help-he's all droopy....

 There a little wire cage helps him up! I can't wait to see the old peonies come out. They are coming along after there fire event.

It's Alive!

I've been having trouble with my remote keyless entry fob, it's been making me crazy.  I called the dealer and they couldn't even get me in to look at it for a week! So I called the key guy at Mike's lock & Key in Iowa City, Iowa. He told me to order  a new fob, and then call him. SO I went to Amazon and ordered a new fob-$13-what a deal!

 Then when it came I called Mike's Lock & Key and popped over to his shop and TA DA he plugged in the magical computer and I know have remote fobs again! AND he only costs $35. WAAAAY cheaper than the dealer-and no waiting a week! YAY! I know in relation to the problems of the world, the ability to lock and unlock my doors is a pretty small thing, but it's amazing how spoiled one gets when you have to get the key in the lock-especially when it's dark or rainy!

So, A few weeks ago, DD, my gardener, burned off the hillside by our driveway. I thought she had killed off the peony plant. I gave her guilt about it so she went and bought 2 new peonies.

 But lookie here! The old ones a popping right up!

I'm so happy to see it's alive too!
