Hello everyone! The Teddy Bear Diary staff recently visited the home of South Jersey Iris to look at the beautiful flowers and hopefully score some lunch. South Jersey Iris grows more than 1200 varieites of tall, bearded iris. That's way more fingers than I have so we will have to take their word for it.
It's so beautiful! Iris are edible, right?
I get the strangest feeling that I am being watched.
Well, we have had a very exciting day looking at all these tall flower things and learning about how to grow them. Apparently, you stick them in the dirt. Wow! Who would have thought of that! As it turns out, however, they are not as edible as we hoped so we are going stop at a squash farm on the way home. The gang can't wait to start squashing things for themselves! We'll make the farmers proud of us!

Many thanks to our host South Jersey Iris. We’ll pay for that broken stuff, honest.
My friends, we live on a wonderful planet, but we need to learn to share it with each other and with the other creatures that live here. Go out today and take a moment to notice how spectacularly beautiful it is, then do it tomorrow and every chance you get. If you will accept a suggestion from this one little bear, take care of of this very special place. The Earth is the only world we have, take care of it now and remember to take care of it every day. —Bingle
Happy Earth Day from the gang at
Teddy Bear Diary!
Please share this with your friends today.
Off for a good days hiking. Check out the new OBX shirt!
Nothing like a good mosey down the trail.
Always the best part of a day's hike.
