Corner View: Evening

I left school on time yesterday
instead of several hours later;
I wanted to get home to plant a peony
a friend had given me.
It's 100 some years old
and has moved with her family 
within the state of Ohio
and outside of it.
They had six of them,
now they have five.
I was greatly touched by the gift.

After I planted it, I walked around the house and garage
taking photos of the evening shadows.
I love coming home to this place!


The peony is in the pan on the
swing.
A 'tunnel' between the lot the garage is on
and one of the back fields.






Last night was the first night in many years
that I was able to sleep with the bedroom window open---
it was wonderful!

  5. Your house looks beautiful. For me it's American, as I only know from the movies. I like those houses.

    The light in the autumn and in the evening is wonderful. Isn't it?

  8. Beth, what a wonderful home and property you have. I love peonies. My dad's father grew them. My mom's father's family had a plant, a yucca, that was on his childhood property and eventually transplanted to my mom's childhood home. After my mom's childhood home was sold she dug this plant up and it is now in her garden. There is something very special about a plant that has lived for so long, and seen so many generations of people.

  10. I am so happy for you, Beth. We haven't connected nearly often enough... so much on each plate... but I'm just rejoicing over the housing. You've wanted/needed so much for so long, and now it's on your plate. What a blessing.

    Hope you are doing well...school, physical, family, and otherwise.

    Blessings.

  11. Oh how I love your new home --and yard... Wish I lived close-by... I'd come and swing with you!!!!!

    Neat to get that Peony.. What a fabulous gift from a friend... It will enjoy your yard!!!!

    Isn't it wonderful to sleep with the windows opened? We have screens on every window and they stay open most of the time when it's not too cold or too hot.

    Hugs,
    Betsy
