Tommy and I up at 6:30- breakfast on deck and then to Claridon Prairie. Misty and poor light until about 9:00. Bloom not as prolific because of late burn in May and many species dwarfed because of drought but still impressive. Mary out to be with Bev and then all into Bob Evans for brunch. Drove to Mount Victory to go to antique shops after calling Doris Ault to see if we could see the Hemmerly chest brought from Germany. Her father is in hospital so couldn’t stop there.
Bought a lovely Walnut Jenny Lind bed $165 and found sales lady was daughter-in-law of Nell Thompson- Alice Hildreth McAdow’s granddaughter. Supper at Kenton.
