Willy Nilly Friday 5...

1.  My irises have been started blooming, however they are not blooming in their normal order.  This one does usually bloom first, and it did this year.  Next usually comes my peach irises, and some that are so dark purple that they almost look black.  They have always bloomed together.  The peach ones had their first bloom a few days ago, but the dark purple ones have not had a single blossom open.

2.  For all the women for a fun read, go read This Post by That British Woman.

3.  This cow's hairdo made me think of Our Gang's Alfalfa.  Honest to goodness, that was my first thought when I saw her.

4.  Do you stop and ask for directions when lost or unfamiliar with the territory you are in? Do you ever travel with someone that refuses to ask?  This video might explain why some men won't stop to ask for directions. 


5. Does anyone else remember this video/song?

I always wonder how many trys it took to get this right.  If you have not seen it, watch it...what they do is pretty complicated.

Linking with Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday 5....

Just a little post...

We have been going the same route to visit Lorelei for several years now...and I had not really noticed these two barns.

They do sit back off the road.  To be honest, I think maybe they were not very visible.  When I noticed them a few weeks ago, there was a bulldozer there where they had been clearing out brush, bushes, etc.

I decided to make a run to Walmart today to pick up some graduation cards and another small gift.  Then thought of half a dozen other things.   I can never go out there without finding more than I original went to get.  The only time is if I am in a hurry and Roger is waiting in the car.

I have not been doing a lot on Rachel's quilt...I finished 12 more  of the squares, and I cut out enough jewel pieces to make 12 more this evening.  Hopefully I can get them made in the next few days.

I also have been trying to decide what to make for a baby quilt...I have a few months for it, but would love to get it made and ready.   Or at the least, know what I am going to make.  I am definitely keeping it simple. 





 

Full of blooms

This clematis is full of blooms....I am so pleased with it.  I think I planted it last year.  We  had gotten one of a different color and it died.  I picked this one out, and Roger of course told the greenhouse owners what had happened.  They tried to give me this one free, but I think we settled on half price.  I did not feel it was their fault that the other one died...and Roger didn't either. 

***********
I did not get any planting done but I did do some weeding!  We mowed the yard.  I don't know if any of you remember me having trouble with my shoulders and having to go to therapy a couple different years....well, they are not exactly normal now, but close.  Every now and then I get real stiff and tense and feel them worse...sometimes one side, sometimes the other.

Well, the point of this is this:  helping mow the yard does wonders for it.  I don't know if it is the physical work or if it is that I just get totally relaxed.  But it really does help.

It was almost on the chilly side here today.  I think the high was about 65ºF.  And it was quite breezy all day.
