Five.

they are in season here now

346/365 ............ "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

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.
