There are a lot of wild irises around here, I have this fantasy about picking as many as I can and making dyes, My pal joyce and I went driving around the other day in search of more, the only flowers we found were in peoples yards, The entire drive she was under the impression that we were scoping out flowers to come back for the "borrow" when night fell, I was a little surprised but was happy to see that she was dedicated to my cause. I have a little couldron out on the front porch, it's funny to think that if this was the 18th century I would have been put on trial as a witch, my defense "I was picking irises by moonlight to make me-self some natural dyes, for me dressmaking projects"......then I would have been burned at the steak...mmmmmm steak.
