no man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them.”

  11. Oh, how I love fragrant and lovely peonies. My community of Faribault once had massive peony gardens and even a parade focused around peonies. This was decades ago. Sadly, the Brand Peony Gardens no longer exists so this important part of our city is gone. That said, there’s a winery and peony garden in the country near a neighboring small town. Love going there to see the flower and sip a glass of wine.

  16. When I was little, our next door neighbor had peonies in her garden. I remember them because they were huge … and because they were always covered with ants.
