Catherine hit it on the head, the quilt looks like chocolate and caramel. Isn't it strange that I had just purchased the bag of Dove chocolate covered caramels before I started that quilt? I had chosen the group of fabrics over a year ago but the candy must have made me use them.
My lilacs aren't the pretty purple variety; they are one of the dwarf variety. The flowers have the barest tint of lavender but the smell is huge and delightful. I can smell them on the other side of the house.
More peonies started opening yesterday. By this afternoon I should be able to pick a bouquet.
I love the variety of colors I have in this little spot in front of the house. I chose the 2 bushes for their contrast. That is a peony bush to the right, husker red penstemon behind the coral bells and hardy geranium on the bottom right. There are some tiny forget me nots between and behind the coral bell and geranium.
This is one of the single type peonies. I have a variety with the shaggy centers too.
The sun is shining, it is warm and wonderful. Have a good Sunday everyone.
