Flowers Of The Day

Another hot one around here. It is still at 90 degrees right now. A cool down is expected on Thursday, so a couple more days of this heat. Usually the heat does not bother me but because it came quickly this year, I did not have time for my body to acclimate to the sudden change. I have been keeping my eyes and ears open about this swine flu that is going around. With our upcoming cruise only 12 days and a wake up away, I have a few concerns that we might catch it before or during our vacation. There are so many locations to come into contact with someone who has it...airports and cruise ships to name a few. All it takes is one person who has it, acting irresponsibly and sneezing or coughing all over the place. Got my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. Here are a few more photographs that I took today:

First off we have the first blooms of our Clematis

Then more Irises

Flowers Of The Day

Today was a scorcher. It got into the low 90s. Currently it is a cool 86 degrees. Haven't seen heat like this since last September. It is really early in the year for this type of heat. Tomorrow it is supposed to be almost 90 and on Tuesday 86 degrees. Then on Wed things will get closer to normal and much more comfortable...temps in the 70s. Veronica left today...flew to Detroit, MI for some training. She will be home really late on Thursday night. At least it will give her a break from my snoring, which has got really bad over the last year. When we get back from our cruise, I will have to go and find out what can be done to silence the foghorn. Below are some newly opened irises. Seems like each day I find something new that has bloomed.

Did Someone Say Deer

Here are a couple of photos that Ken Gauthier sent me. They are some deer that frequent his backyard. Ken told me that these deer have become family pets and that they have become fairly tame to Ken and his family. Thanks for sharing Ken.
