Visiting....

  My white irises are looking sad. This is the west side of the house. This bed has lilies and irises. One purple palace plant and one lavender. I usually pull a few weeds from here and cut the flowers back as needed.
 This morning I am going to go to my sister Jeanie's and visit with her. Our sister Brenda may be there also. I love to be with them. We really have not been together that much this year. Maybe we'll take a walk.
  The people who live in our parent's old house , are taking out the lilac bushes that have been there for over 50 years. So we may go by there and get some starts. I think my daughter Angie should get a start for her new yard. She has landscaping, but a lilac bush from her grandmother's old place would be a nice addition. Everyone try to enjoy this beautiful day. xoxo

    Lilacs from grandmother's home.

    I love lilacs! That's a good idea to get some starts from the bushes in your family's former property. xo Nellie

    The side garden looks good, Susie-in spite of the fact that it is late Spring. That is so sad that they are taking the lilacs out---unless there is a lot of dead wood in them. I wonder why they don't just cut them back? I would have a heart attack if any of my lilacs got cut down- xo Diana

    Oh yes, you should all treasure a start from the lilac bushes. Hope you and your sisters enjoyed your day.

    Your flowers seem to be doing pretty well, Susie.
    Did you get some starts from your parents old house? That would be a nice keepsake.
    Hugs to you.

    many (very many) years ago my paternal grandmother had the most amazing hybrid iris i have ever seen. she was an amazing gardener. other than that we were not close at all but i will always remember those blooms. rows and rows of them.

    Oh, I think a lilac from grandma's would be a great addition to any yard. I have things like that here, from those no longer with us. Keeps me connected to them. I am hoping my shares do the same thing one day.
