Rain Rain Rain

It's been nice to get the rain. It's just too bad it was such a wet and cool weekend. I would have liked to have worked more on our patio pavers, but it was just too wet outside even when it wasn't raining...and then the heavier rain started during the night. Hopefully, it will end before there are any flooding problems...it seems like it's either not enough rain or too much.

Since I couldn't work outside, I had a bit of a marathon playing WoW yesterday. I got my character up to Level 60. Now, if I can just get through the next 20 levels...

Iris Pics

Here are a couple of pictures of irises that I've got started in our yard. I just planted a few bulbs that a friend gave me last year. In a few years we'll have some nice groups of them. The first picture is of an iris called "Three Rubies". Unfortunately, the photo doesn't really capture some of the iridescence in the flower, but it's still a nice photo:



The next one is called "Scout's Honor". At first I thought this one was going to be really ugly and I wondered why my friend bothered to give it to me unless he wanted to get rid of it. In looking at it up close, I changed my mind and I really like its unusual bronze color. The photo turned out really nice too:
