Welcome!

Welcome to the Frog Hollow Farm blog! I've been blogging since January 2010 and have switched from Blogger to Word Press, but I'm back to Blogger because, for me, it's easier to use. My husband and I live on a little farm in Northwest New Jersey. We have some chickens and a very large vegetable garden with asparagus and raspberries, and rows and rows of sunflowers, snapdragons and zinnias. Traveling, entertaining, gardening, spending time with family, studying Italian, blogging and reading keep us busy and happy. With all of this going on, moving towards a simpler life seems almost impossible but it's definitely a daily goal.

Peonies

On the Frog Hollow Farm porch breakfast table...


These peonies are from our friends SVV and FVV - they are avid gardeners and wonderful friends.

Today's blog is a celebration of these beautiful flowers and this pretty bouquet.

So pretty and frilly - just lovely!

Happy Monday to everyone - hope your week is perfect in every way.

Ciao, bella!

    GOOD MORNING FARM GIRL,
    DON'T SEE ANY SUN YET, BUT YOUR BLOG IS SO FULL OF BEAUTY AND SUNSHINE. YOUR PEONIES ARE JUST LOVELY. POP POP MASTERSON HAD BEAUTIFUL PEONIES IN HIS GARDEN. I REMEMBER GOING TO LAKEWOOD FOR ONE OF OUR FAMILY GATHERINGS, AND ON THE LAWN WERE ALL THESE TABLES WITH A VASE OF PEONIES ON EACH OF THEM. GRANDMA DID THAT. THEY WERE SO PRETTY. YOU WERE JUST A LITTLE GIRL AT THE TIME. WELL, HAVE A NICE DAY, TAKE CARE. LOVE, AUNT RIZ

    Your peonies are beautiful. I am so envious because they do not do well in south Alabama. I enjoy your posts. Your previous post with your dinner party sounded so nice. Glad you enjoyed your evening.

    OMG. I love peonies so much! I haven't gotten any this year. Just been too busy. They do make me so very happy! Hope you are well. Thanks for stopping by RHS. You're the best.
