Trissie, I had no idea there were so many variations of peonies! What a lovely week! I have a white one that is a direct descendant of the one that was in my grandmother's yard when mother was growing up (born 1924) a century ago.
Bama, it is certainly the season for double coated dogs to shed profuse clumps
helia, sounds like a great start to the day
Kittykatt, I hope you get to enjoy your gardening today, and daily church too.
Laurlind, you will enjoy being creative with all that new yarn!
Kitkat, I hope a long night sleep gives you good energy for the day 😊

I went to bed early last night, woke up about 330, but got back to sleep in about 15 minutes. I'm not used to being awake at all during the night.
Today I'm at mother's house, tossing things into recycling, getting ready for dsis3 and hubby to arrive this evening. Waiting for the gas company to come (between 8-4 is the "scheduled" time) to check the air conditioner. It's working fine, but they clean out winter debris and check a couple other things as part of Mom's plan.
Electrician came and hooked up the new attic vent fan wires after the hail damage and new shingles.

I'll be doing phone rounds with the medical team for dfBS, and need to make a call before that.

Waving to all!

Totally skippable rant ---
I hate family drama! SIL scheduled DFIL's funeral (urn placement) and family gathering (large dinner reservations) for a time totally not doable for me and our kids (5pm on a schoolnight 2 hours away from our house), but convenient for all the local cousins and their wives/husbands who were invited. When DH told her the time does not work for me, she brushed him off with a "it's no big deal, if she wants to pay her respect, she can stop by the cemetary anytime!" I think it is a pretty big deal that my kids get a chance to say goodbye to their grandfather. And I also think it's a pretty big deal that she bullies him in this way and he lets her, when the cost is born by me and our children. And quite frankly, I believe she wants me out of the picture, because she wants to cheat DH out of his share of inheritance and knows I wouldn't be bullied. So, it got pretty ugly, because at this point, it's up to DH to grow a spine and decide who he is loyal to.
Anyway, he finally put his foot down and told her that either it's at a time when his family can attend, or he's not attending at all, and suddenly, it was really easy to reschedule? Ugh! It's totally intentional on her side, and I just don't know why she's playing this game. Yes, she make aim to break his marriage, but in that case, he will never stop blaming her for it, so she loses either way!
I don't want to go, but now I have to. More precisely, I don't ever want to talk to her again and I don't know if I can manage to be civil to her. Oh well.
---end of skippable rant

Oh trissie -((()))
I went to many functions where not a word was spoken between my SILs and me...
Right or wrong it's tough. One thing I learned along the way: the kids were watching. Focus on the event- not on her.
