Restraint

I so wanted to go for a drive this morn, but it was supposed to rain. Our yard would look like a hayfield should it happen to stay wet very long, so I forced myself to stay home and mow the yard. But I took a few more pictures around the yard. Not so surprising, I found myself taking more of the smokebush--both before it rained and after it rained. So you are about to be forced to look at more pictures of it and I promise to not post any more of it for at least a week;-) I also took more photos of irises and a couple of Lily of the Valley...
