Things are going on in my garden right now. Asiatic lilies and bearded irises are blooming, looking absolutely wonderful. I have every intention of going out there this weekend and taking pictures of the most wonderful brown bearded iris that I have blooming right now, yes I know you think I am mad but it really is brown. The garden is alive, things are poking up through the ground that I don't even remember planting there, but then that is not unusual for me, I constantly plant things, forget about them and come spring I look at a sprout and say "I don't remember planting that". The garden is proving to me that life continues, all around us, despite everything else that goes on around us, life continues. Life is good.
