Of course, I didn't play in the yard yesterday because I went to celebrate my mom's ninetieth birthday. Was her yard glorious! The first thing you saw as you drove up was a scarlet array of red. Her amaryllis were in full bloom and stretched all the way from one end of the house to the other in great profusion. The backyard was an explosion of color with iris, azaleas, petunias and a display of spring flowers. No one could fail to notice in the middle of a circular garden room on the bright green grass were temporary lawn ornaments--two shiny red cruising Harley-Davidsons, ridden up from Florida by two nephews to honor their aunt's birthday.

On our way home we drove through three or four thunder showers, but we didn't have any rain here at all when we returned. I took a walkabout and was amazed at what had exploded in my own yard. More iris, even yellow ones, clemetis, roses, azalea, and a few other flowers. We are experiencing a small shower right now. I do hope that it will last.

We are getting a fine mist of rain this morning. Sounds like a fine day yesterday. |

How wonderful that your mom is 9o! Hope you all had a good time. I feel like I drove up to the party with you after that description of the yard! Has your mom done her own gardening to have a yard like that? |

What a wonderful day you had. Congratulations to your mom, 90 years. Does she still garden? LB |

She has always had a beautiful yard and still works in it. She doesn't do the edging, mowing, and heavy labor, but she keeps it pristine. Thank you for the kind comments. |
