These are from Conshohocken so we thank Grandma Sue/GG, but we also think of Grandma Gloria as these were one of her favorite flowers. Peonies always remind me of Memorial Day; these had perfect timing this year.
We spent Memorial Day afternoon at the Boalsburg event and the
Military Museum. At 93 degrees, even if the exhibits hadn't been interesting, the AC was worth the entrance fee.
We tried to work in the meadow making some more crop circles (weed-whack and spray with Round-up) for more DCNR trees. We lasted until 10:30 before we were spent. The meadow really collects the moisture.
We are planting a white pine grove to help block R/D's bear light from our bedroom. The DCNR trees are only 12" tall so we may supplement with bigger trees from Mussers.
Even the dogs don't beg to run. When given the opportunity to go out, they don't turn it down, but they are much more forgiving of indoor rests.
Reading With Trapper Jim in the North Woods (1913) Lawrence J. Leslie Five boys spend the early fall learning how to hunt and trap. Over simplified and prettied up a lot but a cute read.
