The Fruits of our efforts...........

The fruits of our efforts don't always show immediate results. It is through effort, then patience until the final enjoyment. These peonies were planted last year. I bought and planted them. We had seen some beautiful ones in Maine at the Wyeth Museum. We want some, so we bought them, planted them, watered them. This year, our efforts were rewarded with this beautiful flower. Now, we have a whole row of them. In this year of instant gradification, it is nice to know that patience pays off.
