My 49th Birthday -Iris Gardens

It was such a glorious day of sunshine

to continue exploring.

The Schreiner Iris Gardens

are just bursting into bloom

and it was bliss to wander

down the rows and look at all

the beauty and color.

 I remember as a young girl visiting an elderly woman

from our church and walking around in her

iris garden. She had rows and rows of them, 

like I had never seen before.

 It made a huge impact on me and 

I've never forgotten how I felt afterwords, like

something inside of me had expanded.

I think that is where my first love of 

flowers and nature was tapped on the shoulder.

So this visit to the Iris Gardens was a real treat

of memories and fresh inspiration.
