More Iris blooming

Hello, Another Iris color opened. I had forgotten they were so close together as to be intermingled. I like the contrast in colors.

I remember when some people made fun of Lady Bird Johnson because she replanted, along the roads, the wildflowers in Texas. It seemed a rather silly thing to do. Now I think it is great. All people need to be able to see beauty and enjoy flowers, native or otherwise. One children’s book that was written a long time ago tells of a reporter in New York City whose daughters picked wildflowers to give to some of the children in a very poor area of town. One girl cried when she saw them because she had never seen flowers or the beauty. I am saddened to learn that the grocery store four blocks from our house is closing. I use the pharmacy all the time. It is great to be able to walk up the street to fill a prescription. No driving required. No fuel wasted and exercise gained. My ability to go to the grocery is not stopped because I do have transportation. There are some in the neighborhood who are not so blessed. And of course this will affect the people who work there. Some of them live in my neighborhood. Where will they work now? Paula
