Scooped out standing water and soaked up water and wiped and scrubbed and wiped some more. Finally got tub clean enough to plug and run a shower FOR ME! I cleaned it, I get to use it. Going to be 86 degrees today and I know I will need the whole shebang, not just a hose to the head. Guess I should be fair and say that I haven’t wanted the girls to touch the stuff because of possible bad transfer to the babies. But I am going to be thoroughly selfish. Even though it is inconvenient for sister, they can keep going to her house for a shower—and to wash their own clothes. I am going to use the washing machine today while they are all gone and can’t see me. So THERE! LOL
Never, ever been a morning person. But, this morning, got up at 6:00 when sister got here to pick up younger-mama and girl-baby and have stayed up ever since. How nice is it to have the house to myself for awhile?…ahhhhhh…peace. :-)
Stepped out back about 8:30 to photograph the unusually-colored Iris didn’t know I had when it was planted and the sky started randomly flicking water drops on my back. Just a real quick sorta-shower, like it was coming out of those old sprinkler top bottles we used to keep on the ironing board. But I love the ‘feel’ of dark clouds in the morning. With iced frou-frou coffee and online Monopoly? Not much better than that. Unless cinnamon rolls are available, too, but two out of three ain’t bad. :-]
This Iris is a delight. Never realized that Iris have different scents, just like roses. LOVE the fragrance of this one. Picked one of the two blooms on the stalk/scape/whatever to bring in the house. And, gosh, one spray from the Coral Drift Rose is a whole bouquet in itself. The table looks right festive. :-}
Dug up the Moses’ Fire Daylily. It had a bunch of fans, so planted it in three places. Cleaned Iris to ship to my favorite veteran. :-) Pulled a NOID that I call Lion, a purple speckled, a Best Bet, a pallida (love that grape soda smell), and, as a surprise, a Sparks Fly. Rhizomes should be dry enough to pack tomorrow and ask sister to mail on Friday. If have energy, going to dig and clean the big clump of NOID yellow Iris that is going to Illinois. Then plant the Rose of Sharon the neighbors gave me in that spot.
Supposed to rain tomorrow. Wish I had some new books a’cuz I really like reading when it is raining and all of these here are read and reread and rereread and…but I’ll take the rain anyway we can get it. :-p Sore and tired, going to be early bed tonight.
