Irises
February 13, 2008 by David
I’m not much of a flower person (just ask my wife!). But, there’s something about irises that I love. Maybe it’s a van Gogh thing, I dunno. Anyway, I did this real estate closing for out of State clients. It was one of those deals where whatever could go wrong did. My clients were great and, somehow, we worked through all of the problems and we closed. It was a hassle of a transaction but, hey, that’s what I get paid for. The next eruv shabbos a Fed Ex delivery came with Irises and a thank you note from my clients. It’s nice to be appreciated.
I love Irises, I think they are sooo pretty, especially the ruffled ones.
And they look especially pretty when they arrive via Fedex, functioning as floral thank you for the lawyer work sentiments, deep in the middle of a snowy and sleety February winter.
I love tulips too, among many many other flowers like cosmos & zinnias.
Thanks for reminding me that Spring is right around the corner. I almost forgot with all this annoying winter windy weather and the bitter cold that just doesn’t want to stop biting about in the morning.
JT,
Think of how much more you appreciate the Spring since it comes after the winter.
