As promised I am posting some pictures I took the other day of my iris. Since I took these pictures 5 more have bloomed.
These flowers are such a great color. They look purple when they are all closed up but when they bloom.
They are the prettiest color of wine possibly a piont noir.
The centers, well they are so beautiful, with yellows and deep maroons.
They remind me of Georgia O'keefe.

Tomorrow I am off to Relay. It is an all night walk for the American Cancer Society. My support group team BCAUSE (Breast cancer and U support and encouragement) is the top fundraiser team for the even raising $6,785.13! I am the third highest fund raiser for our relay raising $1065.00! Thank you to everyone who donated to my cause. Every penny counts and I am very proud of my group and all that they have done to make cancer a thing of the past!
I will be taking lots of pictures of the event and will be twitting and Facebooking from the event. It is all night so I will be keeping everyone informed of all the goings on. There will be theme laps such as duck tape and news paper fashions. It sounds like we will be having a lot of fun!
You can click on my side bar to follow me on twitter. My twitter name is sprucehillfarm.
I'll be praying for you, as you walk. My sister and niece take part in their local Relay every year, and I do the same for them.
Blessings on all who will be participating!
