I left Southwest Oklahoma Thursday morning with 3 of my granddaughters (out
of school on spring break) for Tulsa. Tulsa Area Iris Society had their
meeting Thursday night. I met Glenn Simmons at the meeting. We aren't any
kin but have become friends on this Iris-Talk list. That's the fun part of
iris involvement - meeting people and making friends. I liked the way Glenn
spoke up and asked questions at the meeting.
Anyway it had started to rain before the meeting ended and by morning a
winter storm was predicted to move in. Hooker Nichols was scheduled to give
a judging school on Saturday. Friday morning Hooker had definitely cancelled
and we loaded up and headed back to the drylands. We drove in rain all the
way. (230 miles)
By Saturday Tulsa and Oklahoma City had over a foot of snow, closing part of
the road between the cities. Ron Mullin had flew back into Tulsa from Austin
Sat afternoon after giving a judging school down there. He almost needed a
snow plow to get home.
Hopefully this late freeze will not harm our convention gardens in Okla
City. We probably needed a little cold to hold them back. Looking forward
to spring & a good bloom season.

PS - Welcome Perry Dyer of our Region to Iris Talk. Perry is one hard
working dude. And he knows a lot about iris!
