Hi,
This is Brian and I want to reassure you that I’ll be back and blogging. I’ve taken the start of July off to focus on being calm and thinking about our peonies. Suzi and I are peony freaks. We travel to peony festivals and visit formal gardens featuring them. Inspired by their beauty, we are embarking on a peony project that will take us a couple of years to complete. I’ve been doing some planning for a major peony bed, perhaps 40 feet long and 8 feet wide. We have three varieties of peonies now. We’ll have many, many more.
I’ve also been sitting on our screened-in porch and listening to our stream slip over the rocks. And sipping agua frescas in the heat.
In short, I needed a break after several years of pretty aggressive blogging. I’m ramping back up. I will say, in advance, that next week Suzi and I leave for 10 days in Yellowstone National Park. My blogging then may be reduced a bit. And, you might see some pictures of buffalo and bear. I will, I promise, weave in some info about huckleberries!
Recipes and cookbook reviews are headed your way. By late July, full steam ahead.
Warmly,
Brian O’Rourke
