sweet peas

f
The hills of San Juan Capistrano are blooming with Sweet Peas. 
It was very hot today and since I forgot my snake bite kit...I was a little bit chicken about staying around long enough to get all the colors.  I pretty much just grabbed what I could that was on the very edges and ran...



Even just a few little bouquets like this around my house and you could smell their fragrance.

They are so pretty...

  2. how beautiful annie!

    you are correct about snake season. a few days ago larry was hiking in local hills and came across a rattlesnake that had 11 rattles. i never even knew they had more than one. he filmed it too. he is nuts.

    i love the simplicity of sweet peas in your house. so pretty.

  4. Oh my gosh ... I love sweet peas soooo much. I had no idea they grew wild out there! I would love to drive down and pick some bunches but your snake mention kind of ruins that for me! I have a dear friend that grows them in her yard and always brings me bunches and it is such a treat! I'll bet your house smells glorious ;)

  7. Isn't it great to bring fresh flowers inside? I cut some palm fronds yesterday and put them in a tall vase for some greenery. Love your vignettes.

  9. Hi Annie,

    Thank you for stopping by my blog the other day. Much appreciate the comments.

    I wonder why we don't have sweet peas up here in northern CA (I am assuming yours are wild).

    We have to be careful of snakes here also. A couple of years ago, a rattle snake slithered into the backyard of a friend's home and bit her poor dog. Luckily, the dog survived, but the snake got away.

    Happy to have found you!
