We enjoyed a second visit to the CF&G for a chance to see the Peonies in full bloom and another opportunity to "Wander the Wonderful Gardens"! Also included was a Casual QiGong for Cancer Survivors "Five Treasures" practice on the Labyrinth and an evening bonfire at the fire ring in the Railroad Garden!
Just as we began our visit the rain came. But folks found various locations to find a bit of cover from the brief rainfall. I headed directly to the small hut in the Asian Gardens where I relaxed to the sound of falling rain, thunder and the trickle from the nearby waterfall! Honestly, the rain actually enhanced the experience (at least for me)! As quickly as the rain came it left... and we enjoyed a beautiful evenning!

"Childhood Memories - Good and Not-So-Good"
My mom had a peony bush like this in the backyard of my childhood home! Had I been more attentive to my mom's suggestions... and not insisted on playing near them... maybe I would not have gotten so many bee stings!
On the other hand, I still recall how beautiful they looked on our dining room table... and the pleasant aroma they brought into the house!
