"Every morning I awake torn between a desire to save the world and an inclination to savor it. This makes it hard to plan the day."

Yep.

prettty peonies

I love peonies.  I love their delicate ruffled petals.  I love their colour variations, from the palest blush to the deepest raspberry red.  I love their sweet, light fragrance: luscious and sensual but never cloying.  I especially love capturing their gossamer beauty before it fades.
