We had a hard rain yesterday evening.
My houseplants get booted outside for storms.
Now that the sun is back, they must be dragged back in before scorching.
The main job now is in the garden. Everything got really wet and heavy.
So I put on my rubber clogs to assess the needs of the day.
CUT the flopped over bearded iris stems and the shriveled old blooms off.
PULL the ten thousand weeds. (9, 000 are sweet peas.)
STAKE the tall stalks and stems of iris and peonies.
I shall not complain about the rain.

It is that time of year. I just came in from doing heavy work (who needs the gym?) and I think I’m done for the day. You poppies look great. I put in seeds at least 3 times this year and got nothing.

I have no complain about the rain in the winter either. This year is the first year I planted the bulbs for iris plants, I have seen any signs of growing yet. I’m so anxious to see what they look like.I like you purple purple ones!

It also smalls like grapes. It is the iris that is requested the most by guests. I can’t believe its purpleness.
