IRIS & PEONY

It has been quite a rewarding spring this far in the garden at the Casa du Borghese. This week's stars of the show, and I suspect next week's, will be the peony and irises! Blooming in all their glory. I have already cut three vases of peony for the indoors, with at least another 80 buds ready to open.

And here's a overview video of the back garden...as of this morning. Forgive my video skills, I never said I was a Chi Chi LaRue with the camera, or maybe it was because of what's at the end of the video.

CARNAGE...THE HORROR!

The Garden Murderess has struck again!

The morning started out with Sophie Lucille not only eating another bird, but later she caught and killed a fallen from the nest baby squirrel, which she ripped to shreds before I could get if from her. The scene was grisly.

The murderess is currently in confinement.

LATE NIGHT...MELANIE C

 I always love the Spice Girls, even better with solo works. 

Melanie C's newest from a couple months ago.

I don't hate it.

IN THREE WORDS

In this feature, I'll share a guest with you all each week, 

and you tell me in only three words what comes to mind.

In Three Words...

Rex Reed

A funny story I recalled with Rex Reed's passing this week. One of the clan, Preston, about ten years back was out one night getting heavily cruised by Mr Reed, And I wouldn't blame Mr. Reed, because Preston is very easy on the eyes with many redeemable assets. As it was told to me, after some time, Rex came up to him, copped a few feels, and invited him home, to which Preston declined. Of course, being young, Preston had no clue it was. Had I been present I would have thrown myself to the wolf.
