More Beautiful Flowers / Iris

Getting the yard in order...little apples on the tree, lovely iris blooming, Betty Alice gives some kitty love to the Buddha... All the houseplants out under the trees for the summer...

It's May in Arizona; Life is good.

(And this just before running a garden stake into my leg and having to go to UrgentCare to have it removed) I had the biggest splinter they'd seen in a while...

Springtime Iris in the Fox Garden

Betty was helping me take photos for our vintage shop, CallMeOut on Etsy. She's always anxious to lend a paw to whatever I'm trying to do outdoors in natural light.

I was able to take some not-so-bad pics. Do you just LOVE the Zebra planter? I think it's so cute. It will be up in the shop very soon. The buckle is up now- a great Western style piece, made by Justin Boot Co.

The little fox is showing off one of my Mom's rings. I'll be putting it up in the next few days. The vintage shop seems to be doing a little bit better than the ooak jewelry, but we have a sale every now and then.

Have a good weekend. It's been absolutely beautiful here the last few days. I've been working outdoors with Mr Foxaz, re-doing the iris bed. It was being overtaken with trees and weeds. I wish I had the energy for digging and lifting things that I used to have. Guess older isn't always better.

How about these IRISES!

I love their little bearded throats, and the colors are sooo cool. The easiest flowers to grow, and they reward you every spring / summer with color. What a photo op! I never get tired of admiring their beauty.
