 Dear Blog Friends,  Can you believe it is MAY?????   Time flies when we're having fun,  doesn't it?   George and I are doing as good as possible so far this year.  George turned 84 in March and I'll turn 84 in August. AND---we are both still 'kicking'!!!! ha ha

Last month I shared some of our Tulips,  and this month,  I'm sharing some of my favorite IRISES. We probably have over 100 different varieties.   Today I'll share a few for you to enjoy. 

I hope all of you are well and happy.   Have a wonderful MAY!!!!

BETSY and GEORGE
