Oh thanks, now I can face the day! Supposed to be warmer here (40) today, maybe I'll get to see more of my iris beds at least.

I know what you mean Patty, I added about a hundred new ones last summer, and then there were about 80 new wons from the year before that didn't bloom due to the extreme heat that year, so if we have a nice spring, I could have lots to keep me smiling in late May or Early June. Smiling

Beautiful Jo Ann! I love the first and the last, Aurora Sea and Voldy's Mink. My little guys are greening up and some of the new growth is fattening up! I fed them yesterday. I usually like to feed them a month to six weeks before they bloom but this year they have been in some form of frozen stuff until a week ago. Then the temps went from 20's to 70's and everything is coming out including ants, flies, frogs, snakes etc. My little plum tree is full of blooms. I know it is going to get frost bitten before this spring is over. I put my outdoor hammock chair outdoors yesterday and moved out there. lol
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

Voldys Mink was just planted last summer.I am anxious to see it in a couple of months.
This snow should melt fast since there will be more days above freezing than below

Just in the nick of time, I was getting the shakes, but now I have a fix that will last a few more hours. Oh this addiction is so painful at times!
