Relax.  It’s more of the lovely blossoms that abound around our country home.

We call this waxy leafed ground cover myrtle.  I believe our British cousins call it periwinkle.  This blossom has faded from its peak.  Nevertheless, I am fond of this plant.  I don’t know why, but it makes me feel comfortable.

Peony is another favorite.  We had several of these around the house where I grew up.  I usually see ants on this one, but they seemed to be absent this day.  Could they be camera shy?

This grows beside the neighbor’s fence.  At least she is smart enough to stay away from where I mow.  Not that I’d want to cut this one down.

The rhododendron grows a few feet from the well head.  When we first moved here (11 years ago), there was an azalea growing very close to this.  Evidently, they were placed there temporarily.  Several plants around here placed that way.  Unfortunately, the man who first owned this house died unexpectedly.  He was planning to start a nursery at this location.  It was also unfortunate that by the time we arrived (third owners), the two plants were intertwined.  As you can see, the rhododendron is now “king of the hill.”

Or maybe I should say queen of the hill?  Here’s wishing you a great week.  (Not a grate weak.)
