Tennessee is having a typical spring: pleasant and in the 70's one day, and freezing cold the next day. A light dusting of snow on the daffodils is common.
My Grandmother Bessie who was a great gardener always said, the colder the winter the prettier the spring. Maybe 2020 taught us to look at things differently.
My neighbors shook their heads last year, when I decided to re work a garden bed in August! Yes, I must admit it was hot, hot, hot.
And when I am feeling discouraged, this flower rewards me and gives me courage to carry on.
Iris, sometimes called the poor man's orchid. My father swore Iris could grow in concrete.
No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, just been super super busy. Yes, I have stitching to share, some rug hooking and even a little quilting.
