Celebrating because it’s Friday…and another edition of weekend reads!
One of my favorite parts of living in Oregon is getting to enjoy the nature and beauty of it all around. To me that means, getting to cut down our own Christmas tree from a farm or pick fresh strawberries, and this week it meant a trip to Adelman Peony Gardens.
Their farm has rows and rows of every color and type of peony imaginable. They have 500 different varieties. You can walk through the 25 acres of fields, take home a bouquet or an actual peony plant for your yard.
I wish I explain just how amazing it smelled too!
There’s no fee to get in, and next time, I would definitely bring a picnic lunch and eat in the peony paradise as I saw a few people doing.
You still have a few more weeks to check it out; closing weekend is June 15 & 16. For more info, visit here.
