Not So Wordless Wednesday: Irises Pull my Soul

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

We just returned from clearing half of our storage room.  My arms are aching from lifting boxes.  This trio of three colors of irises which I bought yesterday tightly furled are opening up.  They lifted my spirits  and soul immediately!

 

What in your life is calling you, When all the noise is silenced, The meetings adjourned... The lists laid aside, And the Wild Iris blooms By itself In the dark forest... What still pulls on your soul?

I love Irises.  They remind me of my mother's garden in spring time.  I have several in my yard, but they haven't begun to bud yet!

Just taking time to observe the beauty around me lifts my soul and there is always beauty around me if I take the time to look for it Ron and Alexandra Seigel . BTW I can hardly wait to see flowers blooming again... I think I need to start visiting the greenhouse soon.

Morning Alexandra.

My wife buys those every year.  For me, whatever she wants, she usually gets.

Always love your quotes, and I would say it is the great outdoors. Off on a hike this morning despite the bitterly cold weather here in PA.

Especially here in the wintertime, fresh flowers are always uplifting. They speak to the times when we are sitting outside.

So pretty, I may have told you, my grandmother's name was Iris, and she had many varieties of heirloom iris in her gardens. I had lots of the bulbs, but the darn voles wiped them all out one year. Broke my heart.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD yes I do remember.  Where they the type that Roy Kelley shared on this post?  I also had bearded iris bulbs in our Los Angeles garden...In Napa we had voles, it was the first time I saw them thanks to my cats who would drop them by the door.  A
