The iris in the Tea Garden are happy and blooming wildly. Perhaps it is because they are surrounded by the Creeping Thyme, much of which is newly planted in the Tea Garden Brick Walk, which has been getting watered regularly. The drought continues…our Arizona Cypress along the east fence line are struggling to remain green. They are visibly parched. So, the iris are thanking their lucky stars that they live in the Tea Garden instead of out by the road…(they also don’t have to deal with grazing goats!)

Happy Homesteading,

T.
