Wordless Wednesday: Brought to you by the letter P – pretty pink peony
Author: Mama's Empty Nest
Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'. A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera. Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” View All Posts

A few years ago, we dug these peonies out of my parents’ flower garden and transplanted them around one side of our backyard deck. They have grown so much and this year are extra plentiful! Now that both of my parents have passed away, knowing where the peonies came from makes them even more special!

Aw… not only is the photo gorgeous, but it reminded me of one of the childrens’ shows Marshall used to watch…. The Electric Company maybe? “Brought to you by the letter..”.

I know! I thought of that too. My kids watched that program — was it Electric Company or Sesame Street? I’ve forgotten.

Thank you, Sister! We transplanted these peonies from Mom & Dad’s house before Dad passed and they’ve been going strong. That makes them even more beautiful!
