This and That

 

I have white irises in my garden. I was heading out to get my haircut yesterday and I looked at them and thought... oh, I should bring them to my hairdresser, Jen, so I went back inside and got scissors and cut a stem for her.

When I got there, another customer looked at the stalk of irises in my hand and asked if they were real.

"Yes, I just cut them." She replied she'd never seen irises quite so big. 

When I handed them to Jen a few minutes later she was absolutely delighted, and stuck them in the vase with a Rhododendron flower and some Bleeding Hearts. What's funny is they looked like they were designed to be there.

Irises don't last long, but I thought Jen would enjoy looking at them for at least one day!

I'm teaching a Birds class at Night Owl Quilting Studio on Saturday, so I've been getting ready for that.

I've finished planting the herbs in my garden, and got a hanger and macrame hanger for a spider plant that I'll be putting out on the front porch over the weekend.

Otherwise I've been listening to the tennis at Roland Garros and streaming Vera and Top Chef.

Next up is finishing the Kangamangus quilt.

  1. Isn't Vera great! I wish they would make more seasons. Love the Irises too and white is a bit unusual to me.
