This Week at Iten's Acres: Day 7 of Spring Break April 3, 2015

Day Seven of Spring Break:
Can it really be Day 7? And even worse, I kept thinking all day that it was Saturday. Ah, well, time marches on, I guess. I spent most of the day feeding the iris. Now, I must wait to see if it makes any difference. I have tons of iris, but they have not done much blooming lately. Hope this new approach stimulates a luscious iris display. I did get some Help today. You are supposed to water the iris after you put down the "food." Not much need of that this rainy Friday. I was thoroughly drenched before my "work" was done, but it was worth it. Maybe the rain will make my hair grow? But then I couldn't qualify as a prophet . . .
New birds are arriving. Today a thrasher and a male towhee showed up. The thrasher is a bully. The towhee is somewhat shy. They both had their dinner times oblivious to the rain. The red-wing has been dropping by lately as well. Beautiful bird even if he is a fuss budget.
Tomorrow I shall try to finish up the beds. Then, I have to get back in school mode. The seniors, I'm sure, are eagerly anticipating all the work I have planned for them. "No rest for the wicked" I believe they say. Hey, they can always take another year to graduate. Or "summer school and the living is easy." I love to serenade my little angels. Anyway, a wet, productive, and gorgeous day seven is all but over. No sign of blooms on the forsythia by the way. Can anyone say snowstorm for graduation?
