I agree I agree I agree

I figure I'm probably annoying the mods with all the detail requests, but that's part of the glory of being a mod! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

I have been in the garden today looking at the iris clumps and thinking which I can dig for the prize. I have quite a few possibilities and will communicate with the winner about what they might like as their prize. I'm getting excited to find out who wins Thumbs up

Beautiful! I'm crossing my fingers. Lost most of my irises to the people building our home. All that excavating really does a job on a garden. Angry
