Love peonies!  These are from the grocery store, but the ones in my garden are going to bloom soon.  I can't quite remember all the different colors I have, so it will be a nice surprise.  I've been reading a lot lately.  Mostly memoir type books, coming of age stories...non-fiction.  

Just Kids by Patti Smith

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls

Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls

Charlotte au Chocolate by Charlotte Silver

Nothing Daunted by Dorothy Wickenden

The Flame Trees of Thika by Elspeth Huxley

and one great novel written about Maine in the 1800's...I really loved this one.  

The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett

Thanks Cambridge Public Library...my current #1 inspiration!
