Margaret,

Sounds like you had a great day!!!  But....a jacket?  42???
Just how far north do you live?  Even Santa is warmer than that now! :-)
I am also a great admirerer (sp?) of fernleaf Japanese peonies and
columbines.
Enjoy your new ones enough for me too!  :-)
It's hotter than fire here, and I'm sure it's worse where George and Harry
are.
It's also very dry here and the corn in the fields is curling up badly, and
the
soybeans are not growing.   We need rain, and we need it badly.  Again, I
know
from what George has said, it is worse in his area.   The farmers are
cutting the
cabbage and picking the cucumbers, as they've had enough rain to make these
early crops, but the big money makers are yet to come in.  I hope we get
substantial,
but not flooding rains soon.
Glad y'all had a great day!  :-)

Bambi
