The Irises


The Irises are blooming. In fact, they've almost bloomed out.

It's tradition: When I see the first Iris of the year unfurl I put out this dishcloth that my sister got me when we visited the botanical gardens many years ago.
The garden:



Irises blooming and regal,
With promises made by the sun.

Norma, thanks for sharing your flowers.

IWSG Wednesday




The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Members post about their doubts and fears, discuss struggles and triumphs, and offer words of encouragement to others who are struggling.

May 2 question - It’s spring! Does this season inspire you to write more than others, or not?

Another great question.  As far as my response...who wants to write or do housework, for that matter, when Mother Nature is singing her siren song, seducing us with good weather and gardening, especially when it has been an extremely long winter? Not me.
FYI: The IWSG monthly question can be found under the IWSG Sign-up tab on the Insecure Writer's Support Group Blog.

May 1

Can you believe it? We're going from snow and ice into May. Mother Nature has really been on a tear this year. Hopefully she'll calm down and give us some beautiful weather.
