Gran is on the left, looking a bit regal. I like that other girl is wearing her bangle on her upper arm.
My response to BJ's pic has to be a pic from when I was about the same age....only fair for me and everyone else ;-)

What a long guy! That's pipe for future water mains store at the City Water Department shop. So the cameraman -- naturally -- thought this was just a pipe dream. It wasn't. You see: The legs belong to Earl Lutzke, 1211 Emily, and the head is that of Keith Fultz, 2221 Stone. If it were only a little bit warmer we could blame it all on spring fever. (Saginaw News Photo.)
Bearded Iris and a Bleeding Heart
Way Back Wednesday: Back in early June of 2019 (or fast forward 3 months) this scene appeared in front of me. I often walk around our ranches “compound” . We have an electric fence around it precluding deer from entering. So we actually have landscape plants and flowers that survive. You can’t believe the amount of work that fence took lolol. It was absolutely necessary however with the average lifespan of a freshly planted tree being measured in days before the fence. Deer cost me many thousands of dollars before I spent more on the fence to prevent the former. 😔. It was a good project to complete…
Setting the stage:
It had just rained, everything was green, a smell of ozone was in the air, almost a chlorine smell it was so clean. After the long “Slog” through mud season, the ground started to firm, the plants start to grow. The average last day of frost here is mid- may. A lot of the perennials here come up earlier than that last frost. It was very late last year with Lilac blooming into July 4th (noted specificially).
Here in early March 2020, a blizzard just came through. When this posts, we have just had a warm week with all the snow melting and starting that mud season. The cycle repeats….🤔😀
The Iris is Native to Croatia. The Bleeding Heart is a form of Poppy native to Asia. Both hanging out on the Montana/Wyoming border. What are the chances…..😜
Location: Bliss Dinosaur Ranch, Wyoming / Montana borderlands.
