Dreaming of Summer

With all the rain we had last month, April showers had BETTER bring May flowers and not more rain or we'll float away....

I'm Dreaming of Summer pretties....some of my favorite flowers. :)


pink Peonies


Peonies 
(Smell so good! We had a bunch of them in our backyard when I was growing up) 










Gerbera Daisies


Gerbera Daisies, in bright Crayola colors!
(They make me laugh they're so over-sized and happy)
They come in shades of purple and blue too!









Lilly of the Valley

(These were by our front door when I was a little girl and the smell of them still makes me happy.)









Lilacs, in purple



Lilacs

(Every house I've ever lived in has had a Lilac bush. When I was little I would cut them and put a bow around the stems and take them to my great-grandmother :)









Rose



Roses in any shade of pink. All roses are pretty, but pink is my favorite!


(AND it's my birthday month flower!!: June) 








Ranunculus


Ranunculus
(A flower that is even beautiful in basic white!)





Dahlia
