I was expecting one of your wonderful pictures, this time of Louisiana Iris. What a nice link. Good luck with your socks. And, what's up with the dumps? Buck up and find time to knit, it works wonders for the dumps. Fooled me! I was expecting one of your wonderful pictures, this time of Louisiana Iris. What a nice link. Good luck with your socks.

Sometimes when a crisis is over the dumps come in. Dump the dumps. Breathe the fresh air, your flowers, and knit. Now remember that you have been through quite a bit these last few weeks.

Would they survive over here in Bend? Go play with some raw fleece for your hands! You must have a fleece or 2 that need skirted, or a sheep that needs played with. I always find that the lanoline does wonders for my hands when they get dry (plus playing with the sheep and the fleeces is good for my soul!) Now if I could just figure out how to spin with my oh-so-dry feet! OMG, those irises are beautiful! Would they survive over here in Bend?

The sun will be back tomorrow! I feel the same way when the days are gray this time of year, and the only solution is to find a nice warm spot and spin or knit for awhile and watch the new wildlife that seems to appear out of nowhere. I second Sue's advice of playing with a raw fleece. Maybe she could set one on the floor in front of her wheel or on the treadle for those feet? Cheer up! The sun will be back tomorrow!

Actually, though it's raining *again* today, I've got a better attitude. Still no knitting but a first step. Sticking my hands in fleece is a great idea. Don't have anything that needs skirting, but I know of a couple fresh fleeces that should still have a lot of lanolin in them. Re: Louisiana Irises - All the pictures are mine, most from this past spring/summer. In fact all the photos on our Nursery site are mine. At least you can be sure that the pictures are pretty good representatives of the actual plant. Everything on the page I linked to are 'water irises'. They all like wet feet, whether in a pond, at the edge of a pond or as we do here, in pots that are kept well watered. The Louisiana's have an amazing range of colors. And yes, they'll grow just fine in Bend. Actually they'll love it, given enough water. Thanks all. Actually, though it’s raining *again* today, I’ve got a better attitude.
