The Canyon however
was magnificent
with ruins
and treasures
and beauty

June 7, 2013 and garden
continues to show
current beauty and promise
of delicious pleasures to come.

The first peony from a bush
I thought died! I nearly cried
when I saw it blooming!
How surprised I was
to see the peony bush
grow this year and how
thrilled to see its first bloom
since the 3 1/2 years
its been in the ground!
