But it's in full sun here.<br /><br />Plant Postings, I thought my peony was late, too, but since is the first year for many blooms on it, I'm not sure. My coneflowers are about to bloom, though, which is early. Happy reading!<br /><br />Barrie, Sounds like you and your 13-year-old have been busy planting!

Lovely to see the ever faithful Nelly Moser also. <br /><br />The book sounds fun but my towering stack by the bed says it can't bear any more ;-) I'm never too keen on novels which switch from the present to the past or ones about women written by men but it does sound very well observed and written. I hooted at the bit about Aunt Marjorie 'changin' ' to a man :-) <br /><br />Sorry to have missed commenting on two more of your posts Rose. I'm really struggling with blogging at the moment :-( I did enjoy both posts though and your photos were beautiful.
