Not My Garden

No, not mine...your first clue would be that there is not a weed in sight!  

After meeting my friend Noreen for breakfast this morning, I took the opportunity to visit the Parkwood estate as it was on my route home. It is a bit early for spectacular floral displays, but I needed to do some walking and also find a blip...two birds with one stone so to speak...

Then, still in the mood for walking in weedless gardens, I stopped at a local park, also on my route home, to check out their peony display. I missed the annual Peony Festival last weekend as I was up north and wanted to check and see if the peonies were still  alive and well. Unfortunately they were not...alive, yes, but not all that well. They were looking pretty beaten down after the deluge of rain and high winds that had hit our area overnight, but there were still some lovely blooms that had survived, almost intact...(extra)

And then it was back home to my own garden where the flowers were still in recovery mode from the storm, but not the weeds... no, not them. They were still flourishing. Those little suckers can withstand almost anything mother nature throws at them...A Severe Storm and Tornado Watch? Nothing to worry about!
