Yes, More Irises

Today there are pictures of two newly opened ones and repeats of two from yesterday. These are improvements over the pictures yesterday.
The first iris is Cream Taffeta. I have another one that is similar and is going to bloom but is not yet ready. I think the second one is Cranberry Ice. I have a couple more that look similar. I think they are not going to bloom this year; so, I can only make a guess based upon where it is in the garden. The repeats from yesterday are Flair and Peach Spot.

We are going to be gone for a few days beginning Sunday and I think that I am going to miss some of the iris. There are some that are blooming late this year because I was late taking the winter cover off them. The peonies are getting ready to bloom and I think I am going to miss them too. I think one of our sons will take pictures of them but it is not quite the same.

The rhubarb has been ready to pick and use for more than a week now. Today is the day to make a rhubarb pie. I make the crust and one of our sons makes the filling.

This morning as I walked, I heard a pheasant squawking. As we drove home from the health club, I saw a male pheasant hiding in the weeds. It was a little difficult for him to hide himself when he has such a bright red eye patch and the sun is shining on it.
