Good morning, my friends. There wasn't a minute to waste yesterday if I was to get everything done. After writing my post, I headed straight to my slow-stitching. (Priorities, people.) And then I went outside to check on things there. My first stop was the greenhouse. With so many seedlings in pots, I'm checking the water daily. There, I was happy to discover sprouts in two of the three zinnia pots.
As I've mentioned, Mike is scheduled for his first cataract surgery tomorrow. We don't yet have an arrival time for that, but we're expecting them to call today. His post-op visit will be Thursday. (The second eye won't be until mid-June.) And with those two appointments, it seemed like today was the best day to do our grocery shopping. We'll do that first, and then we'll work on the poppies. I expect to get back to my sewing sometime this afternoon.
So, if there's time in the morning tomorrow, I'll be back for our morning chat as usual. If we need to be there at the butt crack of dawn, then probably not until the afternoon, if at all. We're not expecting any surprises, but sometimes these things take longer than expected. All of that to say that blog-wise, I'll be playing it by ear tomorrow and Thursday. If you don't hear from me sooner, then for sure I'll be back on Friday. Until then...carry on, my friends.

The photo of the Joker peony looks like a painting. The color variations are very interesting. Good luck to Mike. I had my cataract surgeries in March and all went well.

Good luck to Mike for tomorrow. Hopefully, the peonies survive the predicted storm coming.
A big ol house in our hood has blood red peonies, lining the whole front and down the steps. It's a look, i must say. Also, I haven't heard butt crack of dawn in years 🤣
Your peonies are beautiful and it looks like your seedlings are coming along. I've been planting directly outside now, but still waiting for my carrots, parsnips and cantaloupe to sprout. Maybe if I didn't check them twice a day LOL they would not seem like they are taking forever.
I keep a stock of metal cage type hanging baskets on hand to put upside down over my pots to stop cats and other creatures digging the seedling up - it helps to support some plants and gets covered up gradually. They're known as the cat baskets in our house because all our cats used to choose to climb into them when they were hanging from the fences - flattened flowers down the side and a blooming cat curled up smack bang in the middle. Love the plants you show us. Hope all goes well for Mike. Elaine in UK
Good luck to Mike! The worst part of cataract surgery is the regimen of drops afterwards...hard to keep track of the frequency.
That peopy IS huge!
Those peonies are so pretty! Sounds like you got a lot done even with a lot of errands to manage.
