iris delight

Up until this year my iris bulbs struggled to produce perhaps 4 stalks and then it would rain and those stalks would collapse into the mud. This year however they exploded. I now have dozens of big, beautiful irises and I can't stop looking at them. I have staked them, gently watered them, and was caught by the garbageman as I ran outside in my nightgown to chase squirrels away from them. I don't care, they make me smile.
