So much going on

It started with a dead battery in the car that made me have to reschedule an 8am doctor's appt and then there was upper management in the office and I went to the office for most of three days.  I had that rescheduled doctor's appt and Bella had an appt to have her staples removed from the surgery a couple weeks ago.  I was definitely busy and put more miles on the car than I have in a single week in a long time.  

Unfortunately, I have nothing quilty to show.  I worked on the American Stars block and threw it away.  I did not have the patience for that kind of precise work this weekend.  I finally put away all the jackets and sweaters that had built on up the arc quilt and worked on it a little.  I did a little mending and a little cleaning and made us a delicious roasted game hen for lunch yesterday.  And, spent a lot of time in the garden.  

These Iris and Amaryllis are having a great show!  The yellow Iris are responding to the extra sun from the tree trimming last year.  

I just told someone that I didn't have a purple iris and then one appeared.  I don't know where it came from or how long I've had it, but it hasn't bloomed in long enough that I'd forgotten about it.  

This multi-color iris bloomed.

The leadwort plumbago went nuts for such a small plant!

We have a neighbor who has a real stand of Amaryllis in their hellscape (the space between the sidewalk and street where it is almost always hard to garden).  They put on this show every year.  

And, I wanted to share these dianthus.  They came from my Mom's last year. 

Okay, that's it for me.  I spent a lot of time cleaning up in the garden.  Now that everything is in, it's just dead-heading, weeding, and keeping it looking good.  

Everybody have a great week!  Find a flower and enjoy it.
