From a week or so ago — forgot to post these. The irises are mostly done now, but oh, they were glorious while they were here. And that week when the lilacs, roses, and irises overlap — just splendid. Porch photo included mostly because I am a bit bemused that it took me six years of living in this house before I finally thought to get sufficient porch furniture, instead of just the swing that was already there; now that I have it, I spend a ridiculous amount of time out there, and Kavi has taken to doing her homework reading there too.
