I love a wildflower meadow.... :-)

A photo of my husband's old Chevy truck, taken across a wild flower meadow.  It's not really a meadow.  It's just the front perennial garden.  I love it this way!  It is like a meadow of wild flowers.  Nothing better, in my estimation.

The first peony to emerge...  Quite delightful, peeking out from the surrounding Queen Anne's Lace. 
.
Just my silly curtain, made to cover an ugly old shade.  :-)  It's not that lovely...  Needed to be fuller.... But it's fun, for now.  :-)

I am crazy about that old truck!! We have a very active car club in our town which sponsors all kinds of car shows. He should bring it down. The color is just great.
My peonies are also starting to bloom ...finally. For a weed, I think Queen Anne's Lace is marvelous. It should be declared a flower. IMHO.
You know how I love anything French...what a cute curtain! Nice posting today, Tessa. hugs.

I sure do like that old Chevy truck, Tessa. If I was very rich, I'd still drive an old Chevy pick-up truck. They are classic. Your Paris curtain is charming, and I like the fabric with the roses. :)

Tessa, I like the curtain just as it is...that way you can see the design. Your husband's old Chevy is awesome. I love old cars and trucks. Today Ted was going to pull up my Queen Anne's lace...he said "This is a weed isn't it?" I said," some times it can be but right now it's not. I want to keep that bunch." LOL.I like to make bouquets and add it to them. Last year I put some lace into a vase with food coloring and it turned that color. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

You got the first dress and only dress you tried on, lucky you! I think I tried on 100 dresses yesterday (just exaggerating, but it was a lot). I ended up getting the one at the first place I visited. Like I said, it wasn't a pleasant time. But I'm glad I found something. :)

I so agree...I love a wildflower garden much more than a manicured look...just beautiful! I also think that beautiful Chevy truck is a treasure! Darling kitchen valance....you select such romantic patterns!!! Have a lovely weekend Tessa!

Your wildflower garden is gorgeous! It reminds me of those we saw in England. I also adore the Chevy truck! The colors are very patriotic. And I love seeing your flag flying in the breeze. Have a wonderful day, Tessa. ♥

I seriously want that old truck!!!! Love the meadow and tomorrow I'm digging out a bed of Queen Anne's Lace, as much as I love them they are much to aggressive. Love the kitchen valance...have a great day!

I love that first picture. The vibrant blue truck and 'the meadow of flowers'.
