A Quick Hello and Party Reminder

Hello everyone,  I've been a little MIA for the past several days and just wanted to check in.  A few days ago, I had a terrible muscle spasm in my back and have not been my usual bloggy self.  


After a few days of living on muscle relaxers and sleeping (alot), I'm starting to feel "normal" again.  I actually got outside today to plant some flowers and enjoy the wonderful weather we are having. 


My only pretty picture I have for you is of the gorgeous blooms of my "walking iris".  The unique, small, purple and white blooms only last for one day but are so beautiful...it's worth the wait every year.




My mom gave me the original plant and I've been able to start another one from it's offsets.  I have them planted in pots and the largest one sits in the corner of my back porch.  It's simply gorgeous this time of year.




I also want to remind everyone about my "What's Your Favorite Aisle" linky party still going on.  You can read about it and link up here.  


I've been crafting in my sleep lately so I have some Easter decorating ideas that I need to put in action.  I'll be back soon to show you some of my "Easter muscle relaxer craftiness".

  3. Love it! The iris is one of my favorite flowers and I've not seen one like this. I found you thru "Follow Me Wednesday", so it goes without saying I'm now following! :) Enjoy the rest of your week.
