MY FAVORITES

When my white iris begin blooming, I know it is definitely spring.  A friend gave me some of these to plant about 3 years ago.  I planted them out by the garage and didn't think about them being so beautiful. Lo and behold, they have bloomed and have become my all time favorite iris.  They look like an orchid to me and they smell divine.


I have an addiction to watches, and pocketbooks.  If you have a Cracker Barrel in your area, you could find what I found......a display of watch bands and watch faces.  I have one or two of the faces, and then switch bands to match what I am wearing.  Crazy, I know, but they are not expensive at all and I like color!!!


Now I have a new one......in store eye glasses!  Since I had my cataract surgeries, and only need 'readers', I have found so many different colored, shapes and sizes of drug store glasses.  If you have known me for any football season, you would know I am a huge fan of the University of Tennessee Volunteers, or putting it another way, BIG ORANGE!  I found my glasses to go with that yesterday.


Well, my friends, that is it for this Saturday.  Don't worry, be Happy!

  1. How fun the watch bands are! I see so many cute readers when I am out and about. I wear glasses full time and just ordered a new pair this week. Remembering you and yours in prayer. God bless your day.

    We know it is spring here when the dandelions pop up in the yard! They are Flynn's favorites and we have grown to love them! Have a wonderful weekend!

  5. The Iris' are alluring (had to be different, didn't I? ... giggle). Our white Confederate Jasmine is in full bloom. The aroma is delightful. It wafts through the air, thrilling all those who are close.

    Funny, I'm "addicted" to the same things: fancy readers and watches. I have various readers all through the house "in case I need them". (You'll buy that excuse ... right? lol) My best vision is with +1.75 which is hard to find. I think it would be fun to find readers in the Cat's Eye style like it's the 50s or with rhinestones. That would be a big hit when I go out.

    Hope your day is fun and happy. ~:)

  6. Those white iris are so pretty!

  7. The white iris is beautiful, and I agree that they look like orchids. I collect watches and purses, too. I don't need readers, and that is probably a good thing or I would be collecting them too! I like the ones you found!

  8. That Iris is a beauty. We have some that almost look like a deep purple or a black. It's still too cool here for them to bloom. It's very chilly again today, at least us old folks think so. and it's been raining all day. Doesn't seem to make my skin feel any better where the shingles have been. Have a great evening and a wonderful Sunday.
