Rob, you need a glass of wine! Hilarious!
I'll check out that one again, I didn't think it had a big enough blue area, but hard to tell. I have one called Cosmos that is just like boo, but the shape of the falls is a bit different.

Tom, I am trying to ID a few of my dwarf Iris. This one looks like your Boo. Mine is very white on the edges where yours look like the edges are very light blue.

Boo had white beards with some slight yellowing on the inside. Yours has blue beards. I don't think your's is Boo, but it sure is cute.

The sun was shining so nice, I took a picture of the new bed I made last year.

This one is on the other side of the drive way, and has been there for a few years.

Yes, I mowed the lawn yesterday, but didn't get the trim mowing done. That's on today's agenda.

Love the look of Café Mocha. I had never seen many pics of Bluebeard's Ghost before this forum. It is really striking.

Are those chicks the "famous "ones, that come "pre-trained"? By the way, better nail down anything loose! This front that's coming through today looks like it reaches from just north of you, Tom, to just south of MaryAnn, and "raising heck" for Jerry, and myself, as well! And it looks to be a "mean one "!....Arlyn
