Our light purple and deep purple Irises are blooming. The deep purple ones are so dark they look black from a distance. The picture doesn't do them justice.

Just had a tour with 15 of the gifted students from Norton Kansas. And their 2 teachers. What a wonderful group of kids. They were very attentive and asked good questions. Thanks David Vylising for taking the wonderful photos of there tour.

It was wonderful to be able to talk about the Kansas Merci Boxcar and Museum and speak about it's unique history and the many military artifacts we have on display within. They were gracious hosts and a joy to be able to talk and get to know some of the ones I didn't know before. The Kiwanas are always very supportive of our military veterans throughout the year. Thank you for the opportunity to join you for lunch.

Today we had a great looking float in the Hays, KS Wild West Fest Parade. I think we pulled it off pretty well
