Cleaned up house so we at least can get through – then washed. When Wally came home at 3:30 we loaded up & went to Skunk Cabbage Hollow. Had tumbled that probably golden saxifrage grew there & after pulling one apart found the orange stamens so am very sure it is it!! Collecte 3 backset of hepaticas, bloodroot, dutchmen’s breeches, wild ginger – delphinium to take to Camp Youg.
Just finished eating & got David in bed when Ray & FLo dropped in. Decided we made enought to take Skyland cabin for 3 nights. Discussed itinerary, etc.
They left when Wally went to play poker – I wrote letters, pressed golden saxifrage – etc. till midnight – to bed dead tired.
Got my 8×25 Clement Binoculars & while the field is small for the money I am quite satisfied.
