St Patricks Day postcards

                                                           
The Gardener's Morning
The robin's song at daybreak
Is a clarion call to me.
Get up and get out in the garden,
For the morning hours flee.
                                                                                 
Irises glowing brilliant green

I cannot resist the summons,
What earnest gardener could?
For the golden hours of morning
Get into the gardener's blood.
 
St. Patricks Day @ gemmashouse

The magic spell is upon me,
I'm glad that I did not wait;
For life's at its best in the morning,
As you pass through the garden gate.
- Howard Dolf

First Iris this spring
