Iris!

We've been in the house for nearly two years now, yet we've never had a housewarming party. This Sunday, we threw a Super Bowl party instead. Not that we cared that much about the game - it just seemed like a good excuse to invite a bunch of neighbors and friends over.

Barely in time for the party, I finished the last set of curtains for the house. The bedroom now has charcoal gray curtains and white Roman blinds. It'll look so much better when the walls are pale, icy blue instead of beige.



Last spring, I transplanted purple and golden irises from my parents' house. They've been struggling to get established ever since. Despite the cold weather, we have our first gorgeous flower.
