I am hung up on Victor's all over tan?

I don't think that is on my list of firsts. which always includes peepers or as they are called on Nantucket, pinkletinks, the returning swallows, coffee on the porch, the first tulip, the first narcissus, the blooming of the shad trees (Amelanchier) along the roads, the first corn eaten, the first rosa rugosa bloom, the first crocus, the first reticulated iris, the first seeds planted in the veggie bed, the first lettuce from the garden, the first tomato, and the first day that the weeds disappear on their own. Still waiting on that one.

Here is the first reticulated iris on March 12th last year. Patti
