Well, Don’s Iris are blooming! Mine are still buds, but I can tell it’s going to be a good year for the Iris. The peonies are budding as well. Truly, this a glorious season in the flyover garden to be relished and enjoyed.
Let us not forget that today is the birthday of Ulysses S. Grant. It might be a good time to take down his Personal Memoirs from off the shelf and read: “My family is American, and has been for generations, in all its branches, direct and collateral.”
Thanks be to God.
So check out the Iris in your yard, open up your Grant Memoirs, and praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Amen! Our daffodils are finally out and there are buds on the trees, but the peonies are only about three inches high…and it was 34 when I drove to work this morning. Oh well, at least the bugs haven’t arrived yet.
For us, it’s azalea bushes exploding everywhere! ❤️
Excited to see your iris bloom!
We’ll toast Cousin Ulysses!
