Peonies are in season. The air feels heavy, as if there is a soaked washcloth draped over my mouth, hard to breathe. But there is still the need to porch sit, to stay slow. And strawberry ice cream.
When I was married the three friends who stood up for me carried peonies with them. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for them. Such an intense flower.
