Morning Yard!

Aren't these little boots happy?  love them!

My yard this morning was simply glorius...  the light and the blooms.  the rain the last couple of days had made everything just GROW!!

And this tree, we call it a hawthorne.. but don't really know, it does have thorns!!!
We lived in Pendleton for 6 months in 1978.. Brian went to Hawthorne Grade school and there were trees all along the road in front of the school that looked like these.

and this is really not a very good picture, the wind was blowing... that is my excuse... poppies have established all along the road and they just bloom and bloom all spring and summer..  I pulled up alot of them.  but u really can't get rid of them,  they seed all over the place...

I finally got an appt for a pedicure!!!  SOOOO ready for it. The spa just opened Monday and i just took 1st thing avail.. Went yesterday for waxing.... and i feel so good! it is the little things in life..

The hair girl is not going back yet tho, does not feel safe.. Last week i cut the length off the back on my neck with my craft scissors!!!! HAHAHAHA  it worked, altho the waxing person said it was a bit uneven... but if that is the worst that happens... well.... and it feels so much better to have that scraggley hair off my neck!

And the bright sunny weather this morning makes for  rise in attitude and out look on the world. Which is a bright shiny place.  you so down and slow when it rains and things a just grey out there.

These are Mom's iris. They smell SO good and am so very happy they still bloom in my yard.

and can u see all the blooms?? just a week ago there was only one and i was asking the nursery why and what i needed to put on them for more blooms next year.

I am just happy that everything is looking so very wonderful

We went Monday to High Desert Farms and got a bunch of little  low growing plantlets to fit into all of the flagstone.. Brian spent a lot of time figuring out just were every little was to go.  It really looks nice.

Can u see them in there?  I also got some Siberian Iris just cuz i really like them, Mom always had them, u can see some of them next to the raised bed..  all that little stuff will just sptread and fill in and look really nice eventually, if i can just keep it watered, it really gets HOT on the south side of the house....

More of the tree..

Close up of the iris...

There are lots of iris about town as i drive to and from.. Old colors ( u know the two tone purple) and yellow...

I have such a feeling of goodness and brotherhood with the new day and the sun out and wind softly blowing, so many places it is stormy and flooding and feel so bad for those people that have multiple things to worry about..

Take Care All and God Bless
