May Day.....


The Irises are blooming!!!  I was worried, because the buds must be a delicacy to snails and I have been like a crazy woman peeling off the one that made it past the snail and slug bait!  It is so beautiful!!  I have waited so long for these blooms!!  


I was mowing the lawn on Tuesday...May Day...and saw this bouquet of flowers at my door!  They are from the elementary school across the street from housing!!  I love this kind of stuff!  The bouquet was full of fragrant lilies and mums.  I love lilies...Lee does not, he hates the smell of them.  I saw on facebook that the kids did not leave flowers at every house, so I feel pretty lucky! 


Check this out.....I planted some bulbs a couple years ago (our first spring here) in random pots, and I noticed this one when I was getting the mower out.  I could only see the buds, I knew whatever it was would, be white but I was unsure of what type of flower it would be....on Wednesday it bloomed...into another really pretty iris!  I feel kind of silly being so excited over a couple of flowers, but they remind me of home, and my parents front yard.
