When my parents built their new house on Christie Lake 20 years ago, my mom discovered a peony plant coming up out of the blue between two newly planted bushes. To her surprise, she discovered it was the same peonies that she transplanted long ago to a different spot in the yard and the bush had died. The yard had been completely torn up and reshaped when the house was built.
Twenty years later, the peonies continue to bloom each spring. It’s a reminder of hope– because just when you give up, or think something is over and done with, you can thrive and blossom yet again.
