The last peony for the year. This one has been passed along through my husband's family, and I hope we'll eventually be able to divide and share it, too.

I'd never seen a waxwing in our garden before, but they've been back and forth all day today. This is the first year that the sour cherry tree has produced more than a handful of fruit. 🍒

The first peony bloom of the year (and the very first for this plant) and it is extremely pink! It was supposed to be a pale white & pink variety, so this was a surprise. But it looks very nice where it is... probably better than my original plan for that spot in the garden. 🌸

A few of the new tulips added to the garden for this year. I chose the parrot tulips in memory of a friend who was fond of that type in particular and always had plenty of good gardening ideas and advice. 🌷💗
