I walk past this patch of thriving poppies along the side of a street near our house in Twisp. They come back every year like weeds, and no one fusses with them.
I had an easy drive yesterday, leaving early on a weekday, the way to go in summer. I was only gone 5 days but my garden sure needs a tidy up.
Speaking of needy plants, the iris are looking ratty. Some of these fancier varieties are actually re-blooming. The means if you fuss over them all summer with enough water and fertilizer, they just might send up another flower stalk in the fall. Is it worth it? Like the second bloom on roses, it can never match the first.
That's about all the news. Karen is in Seattle visiting her mom, and might have time to drop by this morning. That is always fun, because everything here is so different from our wild patch in Twisp.
This afternoon, I have one of those icky eye exams where they flash lights into the back of your brain. I pulled a pan of enchiladas out of the freezer for an easy dinner.
