After The Rain

After a foggy, rainy, dreary couple of days, I ran out early in the morning to see how my irises were doing. The day before they were still buds and then, like magic, one had bloomed in the rain. Made me so happy!

    You’re welcome Carolyn. I can’t take credit for the color though. My Grandmother used to say “Natur iz a vunderbar zach” which roughly translates to “Nature is a wonderful thing”. And indeed it is!
