9-170 (19/6/22) -- Memories

The highlight of this mixed sun and cloud day was the blooming of my iris. This flower -- the size of my hand -- is a fantastic shade of pale lilac. Two other buds are slowly opening on the same stalk. I love these so much. My mother used to grow lilacs that were a mix of deep purple and yellow. These were much a much smaller variety. Anytime I see the larger varietals I'm struck with wonder. Dad loved the blue and purple irises. So, it seemed fitting that mine bloomed today -- Father's Day. 

Along with the daily memories, many songs that Dad liked visited me today. We listened to music together a lot -- even played music together with him on the saxophone and me at the piano. I chose one song that is a duet by father and daughter -- though made after the death of the father. The title says it all. <smile> Keep safe. Enjoy! 

Unforgettable -- Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole
