To date I have received 21 irises from the generosity of list members!
To day, I potted them ALL up. Its been a looooooong time coming. I
spent 2 hours potting along with my mother. Then, we went to a
neighbor's house to use their restroom before we went to lunch. We
couldn't go back inside our own house, we'd just bombed it for bugs.
Interesting sidebar: The TRUE catalyst for bombing the house was the
most recent attempt on my life by spiders: After dropping down off the
ceiling in the bathroom to dangle in front of my face as I was getting
out of the shower; etc. But, last Friday night was TOO much. At the
foot of my bed, on the floor, there is a pile of teddy bears that people
gave me in the hospital. (I had my surgeries in a Children's hospital;
no-one who needs that surgery is old enough to have it at an "adult"
hospital.) This spider was (I'm not making this up!) The size of a
Volkswagen Beetle. It was trying to get to that pile of stuffed animals
to hide and attack me when I fell asleep. I killed it of course.
Also, we labeled ALL irises, and we're trying a new system that I
can't tell you about; it may be copyrightable (?)
HAve fun on the FoUrth!
