JUNE 2018 - JUST THIS MOMENT

“Just This Moment” is intended to be a collection of those small moments in which you are truly present in your life - at just that moment. The images may not be frame-worthy, but are moments that fill you with joy, allow you to experience a moment of gratitude, make you smile, touch your heart, and/or make your soul sing. I encourage you to share your “moment” here with me, but I will get us started with this…

Pretty. Pink. Peonies… they were a complete and total splurge. The clerk at the floral center asked me if I knew the price was per stem. I assured her that I was making this purchase fully aware of the extravagance. I am so in love with peonies. I would have purchased these beauties by the dozens if I had the budget. Not only are they a beautiful, showy display of color and fragrance, but they greet you each morning … dare I say, miraculously? It is almost like watching them bloom in slow motion. They transform from tiny ping pong ball size buds to these huge show-stopping beauties emitting luscious fragrance.

Okay, so I got a little carried away with taking photos of them. I can’t select just one, so I am subjecting you to a collage of images.

[Insert SIGH!] It seems like an eternity before peonies show up to buy. So, if you have tips and/or sources for healthy peonies that stand a chance of growing in central Texas, I’m all ears. I seriously could be “THAT” lady on the block if I could only grow them on my own. LOL! 

Now, it’s your turn. What knocked your socks off this month? Do share. If you weren’t able to capture the moment in a photo, please feel free to share your moment in words.
