Even breathing feels alright

Peonies of every size and color..

  I anxiously await peony season every year, as when they are in bloom it signals so many good things, not the least of which is the beginning of summer. All year I can't wait to fill my home with the big blooms, and its a happiness unlike any other when I start seeing them in bouquets, but most simply at trader joe's, which is where I can always find them for $6.99 a bunch for a few sweet weeks around my birthday.  I originally fell in love with them in an ukiyo-e class in college, and have done a couple paintings of them over the years, but more than anything I love them in abundance around the house.
