Will the roses be next?

and now friends, I can start talking about the Iris that are blooming...

Is there a flower any prettier than an Iris?

The new little herb garden is there behind the Iris patch. In the above picture, it is there between the Rosemary and the Iris. So far, German Thyme, Oregano, and mint. I cut the bottom out of an old flower pot and buried it for the mint. 

It is summertime hot and dry here today! Funny, we had spring in February, winter in March, and now summer in April. 

We really need a shower of rain...the teeny tiny garden needs rain. Why, the beans would sprout with a little moisture. 

After the pond was built in 1996, Poppy and I bought one water lily and one yellow water Iris. Now we have yellow Iris that spread, on their on, and bloom all the way around the pond. Very invasive!! but pretty!

not very good pond pictures, but look what is in the water...

tiny sweet little tadpoles. There were many many more but they swam away.

Do you remember holding a tadpole when you were young? I used to love catching them in a jar.

Well, I am off to enjoy an hour or so in the teeny tiny sewing room. Thank you for visiting.

Love,
Henny
