Irises in our Yard in 2014--Part II

ELECTRIC SHOCK IRIS  (taken on 5/9/14)
Welcome to JUNE.... Hope all of you have a fabulous Summer.  Summer is my least favorite season of the year since I do not like the HEAT.... BUT--we do have some pretty flowers and we do get delicious fresh veggies and fruits in summer --which we cannot get at other times.  SO???  I'll take it and enjoy it!!!

Since it is the first of the month,  don't forget to check out my NEW QUOTES on my right sidebar... Hopefully,  some will speak to you--like they do to me!!!!

If you missed Part I of seeing the Irises in our yard,  click HERE.   Today I'll show you the rest of what we had this spring.    We had a great year for Irises since we had TWENTY different varieties.... They are all gorgeous.  Hope you enjoy seeing them.  Be sure and click on them for enlargements.

ELECTRIC SHOCK IRISES and CABLE CAR IRISES --5/13/14

Hope you enjoyed seeing our Irises... We love them ---and this was a good year for them... Have you picked out a favorite???  It's hard for me since they all are full of their own beauty in one way or the other.  I love the variety ---but I guess,  IF I had to choose a favorite this year,  I would probably choose Goodnight Kiss ...  BUT--we've had Electric Shock for several years --and it's always a beauty!!!!!

About a year or more ago,  I asked people to add the "Follow me by Email" gadget to your sidebars.  Many of you did --and I thank you.  However,  many of you have never done that... I am an EMAIL PERSON.  I will get to your blog much easier if I receive an email telling me that you have posted... IF I have to go to my Blogger Reader to find your post,  it takes me longer --and sometimes I don't even get to those sites... Please consider doing this.  It's simple to do --and if you need directions,  just ask me.  Thanks SO MUCH.

Have a great day!
Hugs,

2014 IRISES in our Yard --Part I

ORANGE HARVEST IRIS -5-7-14
As you know,  I had Gallbladder Surgery on May 8... Everything went fine until I started having a different kind of stomach pain... After a trip to the doctor on May 13,  I have been treated for some kind of infection (unsure what)...  SO--it's been an 'interesting' week.  My first day out of the house was Wednesday, May 14--when I was able to get my hair cut and run some errands!!!!   To tell you the truth,  I am looking for a much better week this next week....I'm not one to be SICK very often --so when I am,  I am not a good patient!!! (Poor George!!! ha)

I have enjoyed our flowers in the yard these past few weeks ---so today I'll share 10 of our TWENTY different blooming Iris varieties this year.  I'll show you Part II in another blog post. Be sure to click on  these beauties for enlargements.

ORANGE HARVEST IRISES 5-9-14
Hope you enjoyed our Irises today...  I love all of our flowers --but the Irises are extra-special.... AND--the chipmunks and squirrels and the deer (most of the time) don't bother them... The hardest perennial that we try to grow here are Tulips ---since the chipmunks love to dig up the bulbs thinking they are nuts!!!  Oh Well!!!!

I am taking a week off from blogging to get back on my feet and get back to things I need (and want) to be doing!!!!!  I will see you again on May 26....   Have a wonderful week!!!

Hugs,
