Bonnie's Bloomers 2018 in the Irises forum

We have mountain lions around here. They have been caught on security cameras strolling through Palo Alto. I thought when Bonnie was talking about panthers she meant the rare Florida type panthers.

The smaller Florida panthers have a more limited range, but it is hard to track exactly where the limits are. All cougars are great jumpers and prefer to be above their prey. Sure wouldn't want one on my roof.

Me neither!

My SIL lives next to the Napa River. They find cougar tracks by the river sometimes. They don't go down there at night.

Bonnie: You had my emotions all over the place with your story. The marching band music with the disco music had me

but the storm made me sad for you. So glad you are ok and can maintain your sense of humor through it all!!
There is another thread about little ones and it has garnered much interest with some new folks. We have been telling them they need to watch your thread. Good luck with your 2019 season Bonnie!!!

Bonnie, what part did you play in the band - instrumental or vocal?

I couldn't agree more. Both her wisdom and her pictures have had a big influence on my own garden.

Looking forward to her 2019 blooms

It is time for a new thread.

Lots of spring blooms and even some bloom stalks on irises.

I am indoors this morning due to a bad pinch (yes, I got pinched on St. Patty's Day

) by a nasty centipede (a.k.a. things I can't say out loud) hiding in the leaves. So not doing much of anything.

......typing with one hand makes silly sentences.

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?
