wonderful painting: "Peony Moon" by Michelle Lee
I love this name for the April full moon, which also goes by Full Pink Moon , Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and — among coastal tribes — the Full Fish Moon, when the shad come upstream to spawn.

The Peonies in my garden have very tight buds, and with this cool Spring, they don't look ready to bloom for a while... which is fine with me. The profusion of Tulips, Lilies of the Valley, Ajuga, and Moss Phlox don't need any more competition .
