We went in search of the perfect Iris today. You've seen my purple irises and my yellow irises… and my gorgeous pink crinum lilies. But we are in need of a special Iris.
I just happen to know just where to go to find the perfect Iris….with the help of Lillie Louise!
So off we went winding our way through the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
Driving far off the main road….Past the tank….through the cattle guards
and the cows
To visit our old friend Ann Debo and sitting right by her is Iris! A perfect Iris! In this picture from left to right is Iris, Ann, and Grandma – Iris mother and Lillie Louise grandmother.
Aren't they cute? Little bookends…Iris and Lillie and I think they are perfect and I'm just dying to tell you that we're a two dog household now! Lillie's mother and Iris were littermates and Iris has had several litters herself but she's done with her puppybearing years and she's ours. Lillie is thrilled and Iris is a bit shy with us but I think soon she'll be just fine.Hope you enjoyed my Pink Saturday offering – go visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound who is our PS host.
xoxo – Nancy, Lillie and Iris! I am dead tired tonight so this post may contain exxors!!
Lillie's dog-aunt? Oh my gosh!! How exciting...can't wait to meet her. Lillie is going to be in dog-heaven since she grew up in such a multi-dog household...and then she was an only child...but now she has a playmate...I totally fell for your iris intro...where is that girl going to find an iris in October?...and out in the country? yup, I didn't see that one coming...great post. Tell Jeff congratulations...still adding to the family at his age!!! Contratulations from the Johnsons and our Ladybird.
