Plenty of peonies! (and also lilacs)

The peonies are every bit as wonderful as I thought they might be. 

Sorry for the yellowish photo - the dining room has yellow walls ('Hubbard Squash' by Sherwin-Williams)
In addition to this table full of flowers, I took three blooms to work this week! 

The mystery bush in the backyard (see May 3, "Other backyard happenings") is a lilac after all! An enormous lilac bush, good heavens! The scent is unmistakable. 

Sigh. Contented sigh. I love peonies. And also lilacs, I suppose. (I will take what I can get.)

The polar vortex seems so long ago.

Oh no, did I jinx it?

What polar vortex? Never mind!
