Please Send Prayers

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims 

and everyone affected by the tornadoes in Oklahoma. 

Cherish your friends and loved ones today and always.

I was not going to post today,  but I just needed to take

 my mind off of all the devastation and utter sadness.

I spent time on the phone with a few very good friends

today and that helped, but I finally just needed

to get out of the house and away from the tv.

So I took some stitching and went out to sit in

the garden.  Even though it was very humid,

it was good to be out with nature, the birds

and clear my mind.

Here are some of the ever changing garden

views.  Everything is just exploding because

of the warmer weather we're having.

 It's amazing.......a few days ago there was only one Iris

open.

Now they're in full bloom.

As you can see I still have some clean up to do, but

they love decaying leaves.  Free fertilizer!

The Hostas are so full now and not even close to 
being all filled in.

My faithful Palace Purple Heuchera

next to the mop Hydrangea.  

Will it be more blue this year or more purple?

We will see.

Only a few Allium this year, but 

still lovely to see.

I hope you enjoyed my garden pics

and thank you to my friends for calling today

to chat.  You know I love you dearly.

Big hugs to all.....
