Mary Ann, I hope your spirts rise soon! Remember the best cure for the funk is a good shopping spree, especially when you are shopping for iris or garden related things. Go to a nearby garden center that is filled with nice things and spend the day. Buy a few things, and have fun. Remember as Abe Lincoln once said, you will be as happy as you decide to be!
Get snapping, and report back to us what you bought or saw!
