1. I love my purple irises and have been wanting some yellow ones for awhile. My "neighbor" at the Farmer's Market had some lovely, fragrant yellow iris plants for Mother's Day so I bought myself some.
2. We are off to The City today for a major, scheduled car maintenance. We have to be there at 8 AM so I had Bob cat get me up at 4:15.
3. Actually, Bob cat gets us up around 4:15 EVERY morning. (sigh)
4. It's been over a week since I have had time to do a blog post and I'm behind in my blog reading too. I hope to get caught up with everyone in the next few days.
5. Oh yeah, we became grandparents last week!! Jerry's son and his girlfriend had a lovely little girl, JayCee Bella, on May 29th. Jerry made a quick trip up to Flagstaff to meet her and we will both be going in a couple of weeks. The only pictures I have so far are blurry cell phone shots but will be taking lots and lots when we go up. You have been warned!! :)
Joining Nancy for Random 5 Friday.
JayCee Bella what a beautiful name I cannot wait to see the photos. Have a nice weekend. B
ReplyDeleteJayCee Bella that is a catchy name, I love baby photos. 4H15 was my Dad's getting up time, we didn't live on a farm, he loved the quiet and the sun. The City must be a long way away.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful iris! I think my Mom will separate out some iris corms for me this fall when she digs up hers. She has dark purple and yellow ones.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from R5F.
Awww, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI did a major car thing last Friday. Not fun. For me or my finances. And I still need two new front tires. Hopefully that'll come next month.
Funny, all around us purple irises are blooming, yet I'm still waiting for mine but I looked out the window and saw yellow ones blooming...I don't remember having any yellow irises!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new grandbaby. Can't wait to see her! :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a smart baby to choose your family.

Welcome to the world, JayCee Bella! I love bearded iris and can't grow them here. I think I'm going to take a break from cyperspace -- I seem to spend too much time with blogs and FB. I'm wondering what the world is like without them! :D But, I so enjoy visiting with everyone! Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on Jaycee Bella! I love bearded iris, I only have the deep purple ones, and would like to get more colors some year!
ReplyDeleteBring on the baby pics! I wake up between 4-4:30 every morning, seven days a week. Even without canine or feline help.
ReplyDeletegorgeous iris ... hope all goes ok with the car check-ups. enjoy your weekend. ( :
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. New babies are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteYou need a cat with a different time zone adjustment.
congrats on the expanding family! :)
ReplyDeletelaughing at bob cat. :)
That's a beautiful name. Congrats!
ReplyDeletePretty irises, one of my fave flowers! Congrats! No grand kids here yet, but one of these years...
ReplyDeleteYep. Forewarned. Okay. I'm girding my loins. :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the grandchild! That's a lovely name. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the car maintenance. I dread things like that.
The yellow iris is so lovely!
Happy Friday!
How nice for you -- I just love babies! Can't wait to see photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely iris -- I have one very similar to that one.
Very pretty Iris. I have a few but don't have a yellow one (yet.)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new baby, it will be fun to see photos.
Awww, congratulations!!! How exciting to have a new member of the family.
ReplyDeleteGetting up at 4:15 every morning?! Yikes! And here I thought 5:45 was early! haha.
I love and have purple iris too, bet yellow mixed in with them would be really pretty. I'm in a no color period at the moment. Iris done and the Lilly's haven't started yet...so just green currently. Must be the day, you're the 3rd person I've chatted with today who's a new grandparent. Hope all goes well, one mentioned without people being married things can be tenuous for grandparents. Looking forward to some cute pictures.

Funny....I was just visiting the iris in my youngest sister's garden and she commented that she's "not much of a yellow person," so she got rid of some of the yellow flowers. Now she has too many purple ones.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being a grandma!!! My Iris' are white...big, beautiful and loaded with blooms! My son is giving me some of his purples this Fall which should be awesome...:)JP
ReplyDeleteIf you're ever in the east...I have a bunch of iris I could share with you! :) Congratulations on the new grand baby...I like the name!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Grandmaamaa! And what a beautiful name! And maybe they can name the next one....Iris! ;)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you two! I can't wait to see photos of JayCee Bella. May 29th is our Anniversary! :-) Lovely yellow iris. We were away for the weekend...will be posting those pictures next week. Take care! Hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeleteCandy, lovely flowers. Congratulations on the baby! And 4.15 is a very early start indeed! I hate getting up in the dark.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! It's great being grandparents.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on becoming grandparents! I understand behind. I'm so far behind with all the kidding around here that I'll never be caught up. Really.
