Louisiana iris reblooming 11-5-2014
Posted on Nov 5, 2014 5:33 PM

I have one iris that is reblooming. Had this variety since the 70's and 2 yrs. ago one clump rebloomed in the fall. Don't know if it's a seedling from the original. None of the others (I have many clumps spread around) like this one reblooms.

This sedum was in a pot of NOID sedum purchased this year.

Chickamauga Battlefield shots Nov. 3, 2014
Posted on Nov 4, 2014 12:12 AM

My daughter had an engagement shoot Sunday afternoon at the Chickamauga battlefield in Georgia. A beautiful place to shoot pic's. A quiet place to reflect, and remember the lives that were lost.
Got to see one of my favorite things, 4501 steam train go chugging by with the whistle blowing and smoke rolling out the stack. I've made 2 steam engine trips want to do another. The sound of the whistle I love it.

Thumb of 2014-11-04/chickhill/da3123 Wilder Tower was open Sunday afternoon. I counted 136 steps on the way down. Not sure if I missed any, didn't have time to go back and recount.
