How can I raise the level of gratitude in my life? Let me count the ways.
Winnie Nielsen says: Photos from the campfire area where great HoBo dinners and conversation can be had!
Cindi says: This is like my grandma’s kitchen sink! How I would love to have a sink like that instead of these modern things that have no personality ~ and they are all too high for short little me. Folks knew what they were doing way back when. Lower farmhouse sink, less shoulder strain 🙂
Bonnie ellis says: I think the caption should be: “why didn’t you tell me this was licorice?”
Winnie Nielsen says: What a fine bee photo! Beautiful flowering tree as well.
Cindi says: A sure sign of spring! I met a couple of delightful ladies yesterday for the first time in person at the newly remodeled park ~ they are a part of an online group I have come to know and enjoy. When our laughing, chatting and walking time came to an end I was given a bee balm plant as a surprise nice-to-meet-you gift. I can’t wait for it to flower! I can’t wait for another get-together! Do you suppose that qualified as a jubil-bee? 🙂
MaryJane says: Of course it did!

How I love purple iris. And now, I have my FSOTY badge with the purple iris to celebrate always!!
From a distance, iris is not my favorite flower. They look weak and … flip-floppy(?) or.. something. (Too early for adjectives.) Maybe I have not ever seen truly healthy, well-cared for plants at the beginning of their bloom. Up close, now that’s another story. They are masterpieces with those beautifully intricate veins starting out tiny from the center and then opening up to pour their deep color into the petals. They look like velvet and I want to touch them to see if they feel like velvet, too. Maybe I will try a plant or two. Sometimes I do change my mind about things. {if you knew me, you would be laughing very hard at that statement :)}
Absolutely stunning! Your irises are gorgeous en masse. Ours are just starting to come. They won’t be as beautiful as yours.
