This is the last iris I’ll have for a while. I’m not sure even which one this is; it’s a new one I planted last year and it surprised me with a late bloom. The re-bloomers will bloom, again, but I’m not sure when or if we’ll be here to see it. Anyway, I was tickled to find this one open yesterday. I cut it today and put in a few yarrow and a few larkspur for color. I so love cut flowers in the house.
Today Don and I were sitting out on the deck and a ruby throated hummingbird came to have a sip from the larkspur. What a treat that was. I love it when the hummingbirds visit! God was so generous to give us special treats like the hummingbird! We have so many blessings and many we take for granted.
Tonight a dear friend from Itazuke called and we visited for a good bit. I was so thrilled to get his call because his health is not good and I hadn’t heard from him in a long time. He used to email me from time to time or post on the blog and I hadn’t heard in so long, so I was afraid his health was really failing. He sounded wonderful, though! He has had some health problems, but he’s getting stronger and planning to go to the next reunion in Washington D.C. in 2010! (For those of you from Itazuke, it was Gene Hart, ’64.)
I thank God for wonderful friends! I am feeling great, and I thank God for that, too!
OH! Great news! Jo Ann’s pathology came back today and all her nodes were cancer free! Woo-hoo and thank you, God!
