A note about the ducks who come to our pool, before it's uncovered ~ no ducklings from them. One is a hybred or whatever, and can not reproduce. So no, we won't have to put off opening the pool, for ducklings. :-) My husband has carved many a duck 'decoy' and knows all about ducks. And that's why we know, that one, is a non-producer. :-)
This picture looks a bit like Forest Primeval, doesn't it? Nope. Just a zoom-in on some tree tops, taken from my back patio. These trees aren't on our land, but can be seen, across other back lawns. And this view is one of the reasons why I so love the view out our back patio door/window!!! LUV it!!! All times of the year.
The Lily of the Valley are near blossoming! And these are pink Lily of the Valley. :-) The originally came from an old customer of our store. Way back when my husband owned the store years ago, and used to do deliveries himself. His customers loved him and gave him things. And we love it, that old Alma's pink Lily of the Valley, still grow in our yard.
The tree to the west, is really fully out now!
More Iris!!! :-)
Oh and my husband has a question for you ladies who know Iris.... How many years do you wait, to take them up and separate them and do whatever you are supposed to do, with Iris? Please and thank you for your suggestions...

Our oldest Granddaughter pitched a wonderful JV softball game yesterday. They are undefeated, so far this season. She plays a lot of sports but softball is her favorite. We haven't been able to get to her other games, so far. So glad we could, yesterday! Her smile, every time she came off the mound, was a joy to see. :-)))
And after their coach gives them a little talk of congratulations, after the game.... They all tear off running to a side part of the field and all fall down in a heap and have a laughing good time. "High fives" and smiles and excited chattering and hugs all round. I love this, as much as the playing. It shows the camaraderie, which is such a great part of team sports. I'm so glad she has this experience.
Annnnd, I knew that her Mother {my D-i-law} was reading "our book" Twilight. But at the game, she told me that she is now hooked too! :-) She's staying up too late, reading it. Even though she's in her especially busy work time now. And she said she must have dark circles under her eyes {inside joke, for readers of the books}, because of staying up too late. I love it!!!
{{And don't forget... One of the most famous love stories ever...
That of Romeo and Juliet...
Was of very young people... -smile-}}
Now there are 4 of us, in the family, addicted to the 'Twilight' saga! Myself, 2 Grands and now a D-i-law. Another D-i-law will be next. Whether she knows it or not. She doesn't stand a chance of not reading it now. Our number has grown to too many, to resist our urging. :-))))
