We have lived here three years now, and the iris leaves in a mass at the edge of our property have never boomed . . . until this year. Bill picked one to bring to me to sketch but we had errands to run in Brenham. By the time we returned, one of the blossoms had already folded up in a paler, bluer shade.
Love your quotes and your sketch. Isn't it wonderful to see things coming to life and blooming?
ReplyDeleteOur whole world here in the heart of Texas is covered with wildflowers right now -- it's glorious!
ReplyDeleteI love your color mixes for this sketch. All those wildflowers must, indeed, be a glorious sight!
ReplyDeleteThe bluebells came so early, they are fading now. These wild irises fade very quickly too, but we are surrounded by Indian paintbrush, false dandelion, blanket flower, primrose, yarrow, wine cups, wild lilies, and even some early prickly poppy. I love springtime in Texas!
