I didn't have my glasses on.... 
You inspired me with your stroll yesterday. I finally went for a long walk. No deer, but a very shy Australian bush turkey. We had a moment. 🙂

I lectured about Goethe especially about Faust I and II where a lot of the German proverbs are taken from.
All the best

“Almost summer” was 93 degrees here (Denver) yesterday. I’ll have to stroll around the block and see if those “black” iris are there this year. If they haven’t already come and gone. I love iris.
