Wordless Wednesday....Summer Remembered

I thought that I would add another reminder of the summer that we left behind. It has snowed here for the past two days, and I should go and take photographs, but it is cold, and I am fighting a chest cold. So I thought that I would remember warmer times, in some sort of positive thinking to help get past this chest cold.

It is a peony, which is a flower that my parents had in abundance in our yard when I was a child. To me, they have always meant summer as their beautiful flowers make their entrance (at least here) usually around Memorial Day.
