That last paragraph is powerful! I’ve been meditating on peonies and ants in my garden and in my house lately, too. Thanks for this, and the link to Summer’s Five Things method. 🐜
You do think. As I've mentioned before, thinking is not my strength. I just never put the peony near the sugar bowl (if I had a sugar bowl, which I don't but remember them in the kitchen of my youth). Of course then, I called them "pinies" and always thought the ants would overrun the house.
I remember the first time I heard someone call them “pinies,” and I was like, what are they talking about? Also have strong feelings about the pronunciation of zinnia. And, we do have a sugar bowl! Two, in fact. We are weird and retro.

Oh, yes, we spend a lot of time thinking about ants in our house. Thanks for reading and commenting!

This resonates with me, Robyn. Beautifully written. I want to try a five things essay!
Thanks so much, Kathy! I’ve found it really useful in that way of I have no idea why this works for me, but it does.
