The irises were transferred to the new flower bed between rain showers. I also got 10 of the 24 poppies planted. The remaining poppies and about 3 dozen daffodils will be planted tomorrow morning before we go to Pittsfield. Perhpas there will be photos tomorrow.
We indulged in a little late afternoon swim and cocktail hour and it was a lovely change. Instead of working on my sewing or knitting, I read the Chinua Achebe book I picked up in Red Hook on Thursday. It was very interesting and made me rethink my impressions of many books I had read peviously by Achebe, Tutuola, Naipul, Gordimer and Conrad. I might have to indulge in some re-reading as well.
