All this rain is good for the flowers, and great when it stops. But it must be soaking into my brain a little to much. I seem to be on a musical garden tour. The latest song to echo in my head every time I see these photos is “Rainy Day People.”
Ackk, a ear worm, get it out, quick, I hate bugs...
Who sung that? Was it John Denver? Such a pretty little tune, upbeat, and perfect for my refrain in my head, “Rainy Day Peonies.” No, it’s Gordon Lightfoot that sung it, one of my favorite Artists, and my favorite flowers. But I am sure that he has never sung this version.
“Rainy Day Peonies always know when it’s time to fall”, OK, I am taking some liberties, sorry Gord, but you know, Rainy Day Peonies, always know when you are feeling PINK.
And regretful that you never bothered to haul out the tomato cages for the poor things. There they lie on the sidewalk, battered and bruised, better pick them quick, before someone steps on them.
“Rainy Day Peonies don’t lie when they tell you they’ve been down there too.”
Everybody join in now!
What’s playing in your ear? And is it wiggling?

Rain drops keep falling on my head.....
ReplyDeleteYou are funny Jen! I often get a song stuck in my mind for days ~ I'm pretty sure it will be Rainy Day Peonies now!!! These are the prettiest pink I've ever seen. Have a nice weekend.

ReplyDeletelove your idea about the bird houses on the fence.

I have the same Rainy Day Peonies Jen! I have to love the rain though for we needed it so. All my peonies are disgracefully lying about the ground! ;>)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos. I love peonies and will also be posting photos of pink and white peonies. A funny post here. Let's hope for a bit of sunshine on our wet coast. Michelle
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You've got a song stuck in my head now :)

ReplyDeleteAnd I don't think Rabbits will eat them.

Oh there are worse songs to get stuck in your head, I do love Gordon Lightfoots songs...the peonies are beautiful covered in raindrops:)
ReplyDeleteI love peonies. They look beautiful & they smell divine! I haven't seen any in the stores. I'd love to have a beautiful bouquet of those to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by today. That video was sooo funny.
Your blog is beautiful and you are quite an amazing photographer.
Jen, when my RSS feed shows a new post by you I always smile. Love these sparkling peonies - and Gordon Lightfoot! :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again you stun me with your photographic abilities.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Peonies are some of my favourite flowers even if they have to be sturdily staked.
ReplyDeleteRainy days and Mondays always get me down (The Carpenters)- you got me smiling, Jen, thanks!
ReplyDeleteNow you did it! I got that song in my head. Even more so since we have had rain and rain, and I have peonies.
ReplyDeleteThe raindrops are like pearls on those gorgeous pink flowers!
ReplyDeleteJen girl !
ReplyDeleteThose peonies look so beautiful coming out of the shower : ) fresh and free ? I have an odd square cage for my one peony and it manages to keep it up thankfully .. then again it is a single flower one called Blaze.
I have that happen too .. some insignificant song that will not leave .. or a commercial tune .. nearly drives me insane .. add that to screeching tinnitus and it is no wonder I am a head case ?? LOL

Hi Jen~~ Awhile back I heard GL's song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." Being a product of the 60s and 70s in so many ways...ahem..., the lyrics escaped my consciousness while the tune endured. Sad song. And then there's that other one, "Sundown" which is kind of weird and overplayed.
ReplyDeleteDespite the "overplayed" rain [couldn't resist that one], your peony "people" seem to have saved their best smiles for the camera. :)
The Peonies are just so pretty. I love the first picture and how it looks reflected. I think it rains every time the Peonies come into full bloom.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having the drier weather, now we just need it to warm a bit and it'll be perfect.
I so don't want to get the song that I finally got rid of back in my head~So I shan't tell you what it was...But I will tell you that your peony photos are lovely! gail
