Chatty has two more irises! The first iris to bloom is at the back, with a bud showing, and the one in front has two buds just underneath it that will probably be out by the weekend...


                     

    And, Chatty has already received her favorite birthday card - don't ask her how she knows, it's just a feeling...

                    

    Note that he draws Chatty as beautifully svelte (because love is blind), with a flower in her hand...and he is the other figure - no doubt he has just given her the flower...

    The inside sentiment , simple but sweet, also brought a catch to her throat - plus, there's cake!

                    

    Let's just say that this one will be posted on the fridge for a LONG time...
