Iris

This shows the difference in temperatures, giving different bloom times, between various areas of the city. The dwarf iris are almost finished flowering here in Dartmouth, but where we were working in Lake Echo today, they are only just past their peak bloom by a few days.
The forecast for today was for showers, and even when I looked at the radar, it showed rain starting around 11 am and continuing for the afternoon. Not only was the forecast wrong, the radar was wrong too. It was a cloudy but dry day till about 4 pm, so we were able to complete the 2 jobs I had scheduled.
I met a friend for supper tonight, we had lost touch for a few years. Life gets in the way sometimes. We spent about 2.5 hours together, talking and catching up on our lives. We're both going to make more of an effort to keep in touch now.
