Backyard Stuff….


Sally gave me this years ago. I had a lot of her grab bag box but most of them died from an iris borer invasion. The color of this one is so great.


I was so glad to see this rose in bloom. I haven’t been around to even see this budding. “William Baffin” is the name of the rose.


I was surprised to see this beauty in bloom last evening. The company named this “superstition”.


My Japanese iris are from the old place. I have two different plantings of this.


 The drought is over and I am seeing things blooming in grand abundance. This is from “Kelly from across the street” at the old place. She harvested peonies from my yard. I recently saw the commercial nursery calling this a Dutch iris.

For those who been concerned about my wife, I say things are so better. The have her walking long distances with a walker. We have an at home inspection next week to walk her through the house. They will make recommendations of changes needed to make things safer for her. She is scheduled to come home on the 31st.  It will be nice to be done with that chapter in our lives.
