So much prettier in sun! Hurray!

I had a blinding rainstorm to drive through on my way there last Saturday and it had hit Thelma's before it got to me.

So my photos will be soggy iris and Gabe's new ones will be much happier iris since the weather is perfect today!

The iris field: Top portion. There are 60 some rows of iris in the entire field, and each iris has a large space in which to increase. And unfortunately for the weeds to grow. The field is next to Thelma's home and two of her daughter's live on either side so the family has a nice continuous tract of land.

P.S. There is a bird living in that birdhouse that almost took my head off while I walked by.


Now some soggy iris!
