Rita & Joyce from down the street brought me 2 sphinx larva found on spired. May or may not be exacaltus. Just as I was ready to leave for Columbus. Picked up Mary & Ray. Ray had letter from Columbus Iris Society asking us to join. First meeting is Monday September 27. Guess we’ll go.
Ray & I went to Long’s while Mary checked schedule – got books, etc. I bought 3 books. 2 general Nature study & Voyage of Beagle by Darwin. Then over & visited Ed Thomas. He identified my Canadian bog plants as marsh St. Johns Wort & bladderwort.
Then drove down to Lazarus where everything was too high to suit Mary but I bought venetian blinds for living room. Had supper in Worthington. Ray came on home & then went for Wally who was bowling.
