And short lived–rain stripped them of their petals way too quickly.

Of course I do, Anne. 🙂

I'll take that Texas-sized hug, Meryl. Thanks for your thoughts.

Lillie, thank you. I appreciate the sympathy and what I'm sure were your prayers that helped me over all this.

I'm glad you're doing well after all the difficulties. My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your mother-in-law.

Cathy's right — you don't do anything halfway! Glad you're OK and progressing in the right direction. I'm also sorry about your mother-in-law (lost mine in January). Sending Texas-sized hugs and good thoughts your way.

Paula did a great job. She reminded me to spread the news of Writers Worth Week.

I fall off the radar for a few weeks, and this was *not* the news I expected to come back to.

In any case, a bucketload of belated healing thoughts & prayers headed eastward from the desert!

My purple irises are beginning to face, but the huge yellow ones are about to open, and there are some two-tone irises a that should open within the week…and somewhere I have lavender irises, but I can't remember which clump is which.

I just wish I had some magenta double peonies – by far my favorite flower.

My poppy just burst open this morning. I love that flower. 🙂

What an ordeal, and then to lose your mother-in-law last week, too. Too much for one family, but thankfully you're home and on the mend.

I was happy to copy & paste a few posts in your absence, which is pretty much all it took. You had a plan in place. That made it simple.

So, when you say 20 centimeters, I hope that's the circumference, but IIRC, they usually measure the diameter. Again: Yowza.

Now go relax, read a book, smell some spring flowers…and ease yourself back into daily life.
