Iris and New Flowers

 Tuesday, May 19, 2026

Iris flowers on a neighbor's blooming boulevard. 

Dale and I went to Bachman's today and picked up some annuals. Shown above are petunias, pansies, and snapdragons. Not gonna plant them yet as it's supposed to be cool tonight as in the mid to upper 30s. These plants are pretty hearty but I don't want to take a chance. Tonight I'll cover them up.

Taking In the Warmer Weather

Thursday, June 4, 2021

Continuing to enjoy the warmer weather. There was an increase in humidity from morning to afternoon. We started out  really dry and what we ended up with was still reasonable but Athena felt the difference and was moving a bit slower than her new normal.

In other news, irises are peaking. 

Irises

Seeing lots of irises around the neighborhood. These were near Warren's house.

Around the Neighborhood

So much is blooming this month. Above are some shots from around the neighborhood. Love the irises. Not sure what the orange and yellow stuff is.

The irises are peaking here. We noticed they were peaking a couple weeks ago in Leavenworth when we went to visit Sam and Becky.

Dale's Yard on Madeline Island

Just got back yesterday from visiting Dale on Madeline Island. The apartment he rents there is beautiful. Here is one of the many irises growing in the yard there.
