SMKs ... (Smackin' My Knees) ... Radix ... you worry too much ... this is a CAYABYBCHGFCIJY thread ...

Come As You ARE,Bring Your Brain, Commitment, Humor, Generosity, Fellowship,Conservatism, Insights ... Just YOU, thread.

Not, always, in that order. I have simply ... which is never simple ... been enjoying your company!

Peonies ... my neighbor insists on calling them Peeeeoooowneees

This plant represents a perfect example of Mother Nature's slendid dance ... frequently, in order for its most magnificent ... pretty enough to nearly take your breath away ... blooms to open ... it requires the help of the lowly ant ... not nearly as pretty ... but they crawl inside the bud ... and force the tender bloom to smile.

Purdue Pete ... it may survive ... we are close to Fall ... as hard as that is to believe .... Hello!!!

Some of my neighbors pronounce it Pie-nees. That seems to be the favored southern Indiana pronunciation.

I did not know that tidbit about the ants. I just know that they are crawling with them, and are a big problem when you cut a bouquet for the dinner table. They are near impossible to de-ant!
