Vintage buttons displayed in a planter that arrived in my mailbox yesterday!
(Thanks Deb...I love it!)
What's that on Charlie's head you ask? His head had a meeting with a wall and he ended up with 11 stitches. Pretty traumatic, although as soon as he got home from the hospital (I stayed behind with Miles) he told me that his stitches looked like train tracks. (Brought back memories of Michelle and Michael as kids. I do need to add that there were more emergency trips with Michelle than with Michael...even with numerous skateboard accidents.....there were special Guardian Angels watching over him I'm sure!)
I hope your weekend was fun!

What a wonderful day you had, Joyce! LOVE that planter filled with vintage buttons--an inspiration! Your peonies are gorgeous--always a favorite of mine...don't know what to tell you about the ants, though!
And your sweet grandsons---how adorable! So sorry your older one had to get stitches...looks like he's pretty happy, though!
Hope today is just as lovely for you, my friend!

Hi Joyce,
I absolutely love your beautiful peonies. The ants are another story. :)
Sorry to hear about Charlie's wound, hope that heals real quickly. Miles appears to be quite a cutie pie. Have a wonderful upcoming weekend.

Miles is such a cutie and I love Charlie's comment about the train tracks! He looks so grown-up!
The planter is pretty as is the table cloth. That was a great find!
Katie has several peony bushes in her new yard and she recently picked a bunch of them for her dining room table...she didn't know that the came with ants! Surprise!!
hugs to you!

Oh I am so jealous Joyce! Peonies were my Daddy's favorites and he had so many of them. I have never been able to get them to survive here but I am giving it one last try and planted two a few weeks ago. On the other hand, we have already eaten our first tomatoes out of garden and they were yummy! I have a few bell peppers ready to pick too. :) Have a wonderful weekend, xxoo Nan
PS, forgot to say how adorable Charlie and Miles are!
Such cute little boys! Poor Charlie... 11 stitches... Yikes... at least he's making the best of his boo boo.
I love the planter and the flowers too. Great random blog entry! :-)

Wow..that's some egg on Charlie's poor little head!
And, your flowers are lovely - question though...do you say Pe- O- ney pr pea- onies? :-)
I love peonies too.. they need the ants right? but for cutting them I always just try to shake them off well. I have three bushes.. one giant on and two smaller ones. They are just getting ready to bloom here.
your grandbaby's are adorable! I have torry pie here today! Love him to pieces!
have a great day

My boys are so infamous for stitches we wanted to put helmets on them all day long. Not to be outdone my daughter quickly swooped in with the most number of stitches and a rod in her arm on the second day of kindergarten for trying to jump off a zip line...Beautiful family. I shake my blooms before I bring them in to get rid of the ants. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You have to pick them before they are all the way out to do this or you will lose the petals. Glad you are feeling better...Smiles...Renee
Hi Joyce,
The planter is perfect for holding treasures!
LOVE peonies. My are getting ready to bloom.
OUCH...that was some fall...poor little guy!

Happy weekend.
Warmly,
deb

Oh, that smile from Miles just melts me like a Popsicle in the sun!!!
And poor little Charlie. : ( What a cutie to see something positive like "train tracks" when all was said and done.
Loooove those gorgeous peonies!!!

The boys are adorable!! That smile on Miles' face would melt my heart!! I'm glad Charlie is doing OK, it looks like he hit that wall hard. I'm glad kids are so resilient!!
Your flowers are lovely and that tablecloth makes a great backdrop!
Thanks for the birthday wishes!!
Jane
Oh!!! These photos are so precious! And I love your flowers and table cover. Since I am not a very good gardener, I don't know how to get rid of those ants...ewww
Michelle *Ü*
My order is simple......a couple of peonies and one Charlie, stitches and all. Great post!!
I wish I could grow Peonies. I don't know why but I seem to kill each one I plant! :(
Getting those stitches proved to me that precious little boy will be a real live MAN one day...sweet~
xoRebecca PS: Thanks for bragging on my pillow!
Hi Joyce!
It was great hearing from you yesterday! Your blog is beautiful! I have the same peonies - although my "white" are more of a pale pink. I love the deeper pink ones the most though. Hate the ants! Yuck! But I cut some anyway and brought them in today.
Poor Charlie's head! Ouch! But he looks so grown up now, I can't believe it!
Enjoy this wonderful weather! :)
Adorable little grandboys! It seems no one can escape childhood without a stitch or two! Beautiful peonies. Let us know if anyone has a good ant tip. I'd like to bring them into my house too. Mimi
That was fun, the bump on the head of course! I loved the pictures with grandpa. I love peonies....but not the ants! No one ever mentions that part in their blogs LOL!

OH I hope they have that table cloth at the Marshall's here! I wish I knew how to get rid of the ants cause I too have gorgeous peonies I would love to bring indoors.
