Yesterday, these iris were just buds. I never expected to see them fully open this AM. What a lovely surprise!
Photos are below.
Tom and Peggy (brother and sister-in-law) came in yesterday afternoon, on their way north from Florida. They rode the auto train up to Lorton, VA and drove over to spend the night with me. I was happy to see them. We had some good conversation and then went out to dinner. I now have enough leftovers from the dinner to create three meals for me! One thing I really like about today's restaurants is that they are happy to give us boxes to take food home in. I remember, in the dim dark ages of my childhood, when 'doggie bags' actually held food for the dog.
This week has just flown by. I did clean the house some before my company arrived. Having company gives me just enough incentive to actually get out the vacuum cleaner. Now I have a clean house for a day or so. I have to trim the grass tomorrow and will no doubt track in enough grass to make the 'clean house' a thing of the past.
Saturday we will be doing a Raku firing at the Montpelier Arts and Crafts center. They are having their annual herb and tea festival, which has music, craft vendors, performers and more. Something for everyone. I entered a mask in the 'student' display at the center. Haven't heard whether my piece will be in the show or not. Not many people make masks, so I have a fairly good chance of getting in. I'll know on Saturday.

Your flowers are very pretty. I know what you mean about cleaning the house before guests arrive (and then messing it up not too long after the leave)!!!
