Under the weather

May 23, 2008 at 1:27 pm by Claudia

I woke up this morning with a definite head cold. Drat! I suffer from bad allergies, so I’m usually feeling some kind of congestion, but this is different. I feel just plain yucky. Try as I might, I am unable to do much of anything but putter with the blog and put a coat of paint on the cabinet. I planned to mow, but who am I kidding?

I had to delay plans to have my niece and her family here for the day on Sunday. We’ll have to do it next weekend. In the meantime, here is a picture of one of our peony bushes (from last year). Right now, the buds have formed but none have opened. They will flower in a couple of weeks. I love my peonies. They are planted down at the edge of the property, near the road. I’m sure they have been here for years. How I wish their bloom time was a bit longer…they are such lush, beautiful flowers. Have a great weekend and a wonderful Memorial Day.

    Hi Claudia,

    I hope you’ve started to feel better. I think your new blog banner looks very nice!

    I love peonies, especially pink and white ones. I’m still waiting for mine to bloom, but my dad’s have started, and they’re very pretty, and so are yours.

    Your new blinds look lovely, and aren’t too cute at all!

    Take care.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
