Fair warning!
Another whose name escapes...and I know this one... [Edited to add: Dearest Sister reminds me this is Yes. Of course it is.]
Millennium Sunrise...
..of which I may have planted several rhizomes...I count at least four clumps of blooms, two of which are seen here. But that's okay. Orange if Wonderful Guy's favorite color. (Kate of High Altitude Gardening heard that 'orange is the color of insanity'. Hmmmm.....)
See how well the utility box is now concealed? Also, if one observes closely, one can see my peony buds! I have six or seven!
Hemstitched.
My stack of dishclothes needing seaming...
and the quilt, in process...
It's coming along, and looking swell, I think.
So now I am all caught up.
Except for yesterday's hike to Horsetooth Falls, and the marvelous wildflowers (photos!)...
And the remainder of the day spent in the yard finishing up odds and ends (more photos!)...
There is a busy week ahead, full of lots of stuff. I have knitters coming over on Tuesday for the first time in a several weeks. (Yea!) Also working some long days to make up time off on Friday for some medical follow-up stuff. (Aging=so not fun, and also...the downside of working without benefits and paid time off...) Work is busy busy busy, which is great great great, but also a little crazy crazy crazy with yet another short week. I am striving hard to prove myself worthy of both benefits and paid time off! Wonderful Guy and I are going on vacation in a couple of weeks, too. Heading to south Colorado for a week of playing the touristas. But get this...I told him I would like to leave after I had a chance to visit the Estes Park Wool Market that Saturday morning!
Of course, he agreed. He's Wonderful Guy!

I believe the top photos is 'Yes'. Peonies in June! What an idea! What is the traditional Memorial Day flowers in the high desert, if peonies bloom in June?
The flowers are just gorgeous and I love the quilt!
I love the iris pictures! Love, WS
Beautiful iris! I just deadheaded the last of mine and I realized I hadn't enjoyed them this May because it was so cold. So it was nice seeing yours.
How beautiful! I am very partial to irises...they were my Dad's favorite flower and when he was younger, saved his money and planted a bed of them for his Mom...so irises really make me smile :-)
Thanks for sharing!
(I'm nonaofsav on Ravelry)
Nice!...more beautiful iris. I don't have any iris (or peonies) and I totally suck as a gardener, but I enjoy looking at your flowers (and Jan's, too). I don't know how you can work, spin, knit, garden, quilt, & bicycle every day -- of course, you are much younger I am.
Estes Park. . . I want to go! Tish
I am loving the quilt!
