Today's moment of spring
The afternoon spritz of rain brought out the sparkle.
Three things about the iris:
1. The word "iris" is from the Greek word for rainbow (and the name of the goddess of the rainbow). That same word is a root for the word iridescence.
2. The etymological connection with rainbow is also why the structure in the eye is called the iris.
3. There's also Iris, a new documentary about fashion icon Iris Apfel, opening at the Spectrum this Friday. It's received very good reviews. For the 7:30 pm screening on Saturday, the Fort Orange General Store is hosting a pre-screening gathering in which "guests are encouraged to dress up in the spirit of Iris- layer up your colorful accessories, and put on your more eccentric outfits." There will also be a photo booth, drinks, and door prizes.
