Howdy do, Conor. *Hugz*

Sounds like you had a good day, both at church and at home.

Is your white iris a re-bloomer? Or does it bloom just once a year?

Howdy, Kathy.

Hoo-boy, sounds like you’ve had a “fun” day ...... again.
Hope you’ve managed to get a few things accomplished at least.

Did the computer guy show up? Any luck with your laptop?

Good evening, Radu!

*HUGS*

Yes, a good day, indeed! The iris is a re-bloomer. I think - although not sure - that the name is "Immortality."

Howdy radu!

We had a bunch of rain today but it didn't affect my mood too much, as son came over after Church and we had lunch together and then hung out together all afternoon playing video games and saving the world.

Just winding down now and relaxing.

How wuz your Sunday?

Glad you had such a good day to wrap up the weekend.

I’m quite familiar with those irises. Dad sent 4 packs of iris bulbs for my birthday a couple of years ago and one pack was Immortality. I didn’t realize there were re-blooming irises and was shocked when it bloomed in spring and again that summer.
They’re my favorites. Large pure-white blooms that almost glow in the dark. They really put on a show this year now that they’ve had a little time to multiply.

Enjoy your show! Ours have already finished the spring bloom.

Aaah, another day of saving the world with your son! Hard to beat that with a big stick. LOL!

Another Sunday afternoon getting my brain rattled by visiting Aunt Clara. It was already fogged up by allergies so it didn’t take much to rattle it. hee!

Good night and sleep well.

Hope things go smoothly tomorrow and you aren’t stuck next to obnoxious passengers on the rain. :-)

Well, good for you for visiting Aunt Clara. Sometimes it's tough because they are elderly and not always "all there", but good for you that she is important enough to stop by and see, I'm sure she appreciates it.

Unfortunately, it's too bad she was such a pack rat, LOL! Good luck sorting the rest of her stuff out. More yard sales to come?

Thanks for a great biography of a bulldog of a man! I’d hate to have met him in battle!
