Still cutting, with a break to visit the garden.......
I am cutting the brown, rust, gold, beige group of batiks now. Most people requested no brown but 2 people wanted only this group. I had been wanting to cut this group for myself for a long time so that worked out well.
I picked up the second anti-fatigue mat today. It is 7/8" of cushion in the center part. It is a world of difference from standing on the bare floor.

I can't believe it, my neighbors have a peony blooming already. The funny part is that I don't remember them having a bush there before. My peonies are at least a couple weeks away from blooming.

Here are the 2 new perennials I got. Maybe I will get them planted today.

I have 2 groups of Jack in the Pulpit. This first one is limey green and is back in the wild part of the garden.

And then there is this one that is near a bird feeder and the flowers have stripes. My back yard neighbors have the Jack in the Pulpit that they believe was planted when their house was new. My house is 56 years old and theirs is a lot older. That is where I think these plants came from (by birds) but I don't know why I have 2 different looking plants. Does anyone know anything about them?

We missed out on the rain yesterday (whew!) and we had a warmer than average day, short sleeve weather. It is going to be a cooler weekend so that will be a good time to work hard in the yard and garden.
