Peony Means Bashful



"Hundred ounces of gold"...During the Tang Dynasty this is what the Chinese referred to the peony as, because of the price for just one plant. A plant, which was once a sign of prosperity as it graced the Imperial Gardens, is now a plant which most can find in their backyard. Tricia, our floral designer, created this beautiful bouquet using all local plants. Just goes to show you can do a lot for a little.

The New Camera

Last Tuesday was the day. Our new camera came! I probably took a million pictures over the weekend (well not quite) but I thought I would post a few fun snapshots from our family get together as we celebrated our parents 35th wedding anniversary.
