Obviously, we will not be meeting face to face this month as we continue to stay "safe at home," in Dr. Acton's words. I miss our wide-ranging conversations and (of course!) wonderful food. In lieu of an actual meeting, I am hoping we can check in. And in honor

The irises are blooming. This variety appears in paintings from at least the 1700s. My first start of it came from my mother.</div>
