The memory of...

these flowers have given me much pleasure during the past few weeks of Spring. Lovely to look at, there hasn't been a day whereby I haven't smiled and thanked them for their loveliness. I've watched them bud, grow, bloom, flourish and then mellow. I hope you enjoy them too. Their colors are some of natures's best. I did nothing but to plant bulbs last Fall with Allen, and to watch the Rosario Iris re-bloom after a sleepy winter.

  7. What a wonderful thought to thank the flowers for giving us such joy. I'm going to do the same thing tomorrow -- making sure, though, that my neighbors aren't out there! They think I'm nuts as it is. :)

  9. It is always a joy to visit your wonderful site. I don't have much of a display as I lost my long-time gardener last year and I also turned 80!!! So please keep the flowers coming.
