Friday flowers, welcome home edition

The laundry is not done, forcing me to wear gym clothes to work this week. The apartment is a mild to moderate disaster. There is still minimal food in the house.

But there are flowers.

{peonies, etc}

Big, crumpled petal peonies. Blowsier and more show offy than garden roses, which is a bit of a feat. If they were around all year, I don't think I could handle them. But a bit of over the top exuberance is perfect, in its own season.

There is one more Greece recap for next week and then more regular posting will resume. Possibly even posts with actual recipes and photographs and everything.
