Beautiful day...

"Oh, what a beautiful morning! Oh, what a beautiful day!" It rained last night, washing away the pollen and cleaning the air. Now it is so crisp and fresh and beautiful.




The passing storms also brought cooler weather which is very nice because it was getting too warm too soon. The wind has picked up, but the air is still so wonderful. And more flowers are blooming.




The roses have started and my columbines are blooming. And several more blue flowers that I have yet to tell you about. And these beautiful short irises. (Embarrassingly, this is another plant for which I will have to find the tag and get back to you on the name!) They lived in their nursery container for about 4 years before I got them in the ground and still they are doing fabulously! My kind of flower!


Have a beautiful day!
