This morning I had copies of a birthday invitation made and I delivered most of them to the community members in which I live.   While walking along the route to the different houses I enjoyed the beautiful weather: sunshine and the temperature that I really like.   I like it to be near 65-70, not to hot or not to cool.

On the trip around the circle I saw a number of beautiful flowers.  Now I should have a digital camera but that is in the future, soon I hope.  One of the flowers I especially like is a large deep purple Iris. I did have some but so far I don't see any, the area has become very shaded as our young trees have gotten very tall.  We have live here about 15 years when this place was first developed.

We like the shade on the west side as the house would get very warm in the late spring, through to fall.   So now I need to plant flowers that grow well in mostly shade.   I have planted three hosta plants last fall and they are growing but there is space for a number of other plants.
