"Pretty house" - At least I tried
Yesterday I looked outside and saw that our peonies were blooming. I looked on the cupboard and saw an empty orange vase. Why not?
Mistake #1 - Forgot to shake the ants, spiders, and random green bugs out of the blooms first.
Mistake #2 - Forgot how fragrant peonies can be.
Needless to say, I learned my lesson from both mistakes. It took me three napkins to kill all the bugs that came crawling out, and during breakfast this morning I had to set the vase of flowers outside. I was having a hard time breathing through my nose.
But, now we have a pretty vase of flowers to go on the patio table, and it almost looks like I planned it that way. ;)
