For Alma.......

....BikerBear's mother, who passed away this week. 
This peony had to be my choice today---it's raining very hard, & while most of my peonies are still in bud form, this one had started to bloom & had drooped forward to where I could see it from the window---as if it knew it was meant to be chosen for Alma! ....The purity of the white all covered in raindrops....as if even the Heavens are mourning her loss!  Our thoughts and prayers are with you Anni!
