Because of our May freeze, this is what my Screenplay iris looked like when it opened yesterday:

This is how it's supposed to look:

And by the way, the temp went down to 36ú last night.....

Bleeding hearts...almost. These are my Aunt Ruby's. She lives in Montana. I took this last week. They are probably bleeding hearts now.

Allie had to be there with him, don't look at the ironing board, Christmas birthday paper, and junk in the back, lol.

great pics EVERYONE!

This is an old sign in downtown Atlanta I took last night...I wonder if and hope those aren't bullet holes...

Liz, someone else wondered about the holes and did some research, here is what they found:

A little side trip from yesterday's journey. The "Pipe Corner of the South" sign is a downtown landmark, in part because its survival is so unlikely: it belonged to Royal Cigar, which was a downtown fixture for decades. It moved up to Buckhead in 1991 (later moving over by Emory, then going out of business in 2005), and somehow the sign was left behind (not sure why -- the one 1991 AJC article I found indicated that it would be removed). And no one's seen fit to remove it in the intervening years, which is very un-Atlanta behavior.

Some web research indicates that those holes aren't bullet holes -- there were neon bulbs depicting smoke rising from the pipe.
