Calibrachoa is a member of the evergreen family.

Isn’t that fascinating??

I just spent the morning in my garden!

red-calibrachoa-bumble-bee-2When I first started home schooling, I read a lot of Charlotte Mason.

I loved her idea of sitting and watching the bumble bees.

We can learn so much from just stopping and watching, don’t you think?

Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower.

Tell me, what fills your heart with joy?

Dreaming of Peonies

I absolutely love peonies!

The color!

The scent!

What heady aroma fills the room when a vase or jar of peonies is present!

I wait all year for peony season!

These peonies are straight from my garden.

If I could only pick one flower for my garden, it would be the peony!
