"The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers,

but for the wide world's joy."By Henry Ward Beecher

The blue Iris from Lowe's has bloomed again this year. The flowers and trees are growing with lush greens and colors in all of this rain.
Remember last year when we went on a quest to find Aunt Minnie? Frank and Cloody were moving and they gave me this yellow Iris and so its name is dubbed Frank .

Now this is dubbed Cloody in PinkI am sad to say the Iris I begged from the lady that helped us find Aunt Minnie was dubbed "Aunt Minnie " the white Iris did not bloom yet if at all.

In their fright the woman bowed down with their faces to the ground. but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead ? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.'

Then they remembered his words.

Luke 24: 5--8
