I picked it just for you.
Today has been a pretty active day. I shall go to bed early I am sure.
Among other things I have taken down a bed that is in the room we intend for an office.
I also used the push mower to mow the front lawn. I hope to use the rider for the back lawn, but hubby says a circuit breaker has been thrown that is keeping it from starting.
It was good exercise.
We enjoyed church this morning, and then took a little drive. I would like to find some straw bales for gardening, but the store where we went is out of them.
I have washed up a lot of the bedding from that room.
No wonder I am tired.
See you in the morning.
The flower was blooming at my brother's house. It is a purple iris.

It is lovely Heather thanks for the flower. I love the irises especially the purple ones.
I know you really went at it today as you said you would.
I hope now you have a good nights rest friend.

Just two lots over from me is an empty lot. There is about a four foot square of dark purple iris. I do not know if they will bloom this year as the guy that mows mowed them to the ground last fall.

I definitely slept well, but I wanted to stay in bed this morning.

Thank you, I love Irises! Can't grow them here, or much of anything else, so it's a real treat to see one. Rest well, you deserve it!

I remember, you moved to an arid and hot place. So many of our traditional flowers have to have cold in the winter to make blooms.

@GardenGerty
So are you busy all the time or certain times of the year?

I guessed it was an Iris. My friend in the US has an Iris farm. She sells Iris Bulbs on line.

I had a friend once who enjoyed cross pollinating his own varieties.

Years ago I had an electric but no weather safe place to store it. I found it not to be heavy duty enough for my lawn.

Do you grow in the bales of straw?

I have not tried that, yet. What I want the straw for is to make a "potato tower". I saw one online.

One of the things I like is that with the office out of the living room it will stay nicer looking.
