Here are 2 of my Last years New Iris plants with Buds and Blooms! They are a Ligt Blue with darker blue varigations on the petals and inside, very pretty when seen in real life! I am gonna try to upload a few more pics cross your fingers  that it works! Ok I think I know how to do the picture thing for now , tho I am gonna have to figure out why my flash uploader is acting weird. Here is a picture of a Violet colored Iris that bloomed the other day. Please ignore the cigarette in the pic I still have several (actually A BUNCH/SEVERAL/ oh crap..ALOT!!!) of Irises left to bloom they a more prolific and colorful this yr than I’ve seen em in the past 5 yrs. Brian and I will be doing sone yard work today including planting some Glads and Dahlias and putting down ant and other insect killer (I also plan to kill off as many red hornets as I can so I can work outside without fear of getting stung).

Knitting: I have gotten both the BBS most of the way done with the foot, One of them is 3 inches shy of starting the toe and the other is about 4.5-5 in shy (am working on that one today to get it caught up. As soon as I get the second one’s yarn done to the last 6 inches of the skein I’ll get the 3rd skein balled up and finish them off and get em along with other goodies sent off to Kim! Also Christmas 2007 still reigns strong in my knitting, Jacobs second sock is almost doen and I will be starting the 3 pair of felted slippers in the next week, pictures to come later. I also swatched the DiC Giant Peach for Mama’s Cables and Lace Cardi Am loving the way it looks, how it knitted up, and most of all I really like the color! Mama’s cardi will prob be done in either Gothic Rose or Chinatown Apple, but I am planning to order myself some more of the Giant Peach and Lipstic Lava to make a couple of Sweater Tees and matching socks! I know, I know, finish up what is on the needles and start on the yarn I already have but…..More DiC Classy and Smooshy oh and Numma Numma, and Yarn Nerd are  in order as soon as TLE has em in stock. Speaking of yarn orders…I participated in Ray’s sale this week and have some ________ coming for socks to make my mom, hint: its a color she really likes of his, some Whine and Cheese coming for MIL in his already discontinued Uptowne Road (I dont blame him see his blog for why) and some of the River Stone (I believe) for Brian or Josey depending on who I decide needs it more, or likes it more

Thats all for now, I may try to post later today esp if I can get some really good pics after the yard work is done, if not you’ll hear from me tomorrow eve after my mom and I go participate in the Knit WIcks sale!!
