Irises Galore and We Got Lettuce!

Good morning and happy Saturday from the rancho.  Yesterday was busy, busy.  Dental appointment for me in the morning and DH's diabetic doctor in the afternoon.  I have always said that if I am kidnapped, my body would be easy to identify with my dental records.  I know...morbid.  But I have been going to the same dental office for 33 years and firmly believe that I have put multiple children through college.  I asked my dentist how many of my teeth are natural.  Nine.  Nine of my teeth have not been worked on.  If I started with thirty two...that is 28% of my teeth have had NO WORK.  Yep, I've been a great patient.  LOL Good news was that I need a replacement crown...but no root canal.  I know that most people would be sad, but that means that half of that tooth will still be mine.  LOL

I owe an apology to Melisa from  pinkernpunkinquilting.blogspot.com .  I showed a cute finish last week and noted that it was a freebie.  BUT...I completely forgot to tell you that it was her design.  So take a minute to visit and take a peek at her designs.  She has the cutest littles and some awesome saltbox houses.  Again, my apologies, Melisa.  

Finished another project.  It is a Fall piece but I'm putting it out now.  LOL I'm not sure where I found it...so no information...I've had it for a while in my "to stitch" pile.  I'm still working on Cherry Hill Sampler, but no pictures.  I will be better prepared next week.  LOL

Lots of flowers this week.  The temperature finally dropped below 90.  There's still a breeze in the afternoon so there is some damage to my rose blooms.  My irises are in an area that is protected from the sun and wind so they are looking fabulous.

Blooms on this geranium are small but check out those leaves!!

                                       

My tomatoes are starting to bloom...but the star of my garden?  Lettuce!  This is the second harvest.  It just tastes so good!  I planted a "bistro" pack so it has a little bit of everything.  

Okay.  Show of hands.  Who else?  LOL   It's only one more weed.  Too much trouble to go in and get dressed.  And the neighbors will understand.  Right?  LOL

Jack Jack is growing by the day.  If there is one piece of plastic left out, he is on it!  I believe that this particular pot thingy was from the lettuce.  I saved it so I could use it next year to start my seeds.  There is not much left of it now.  He doesn't eat it, but sure does crunch it up.  LOL  

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, the dads that were moms (and dads), and all those that did "mom duties" for those they loved.  I hope that your weekend is special.  Be safe.  Be kind to one another.
