Flowers and PIE

Hi everyone--I am composing this from a hotel in Pennsylvania, and its been a few days since the meeting, so forgive me if this is a bit disjointed. The meeting was last Tuesday--we had bumped it forward by a week to accomodate the 4th of July holiday. Attendance was very light--Cindy came, along with Dewayne and Daisy, Bobbi and Dave, Rosie and Kathy. Maggie, we sure hope you are feeling better--you need to be able to get into your garden! And everyone else, I hope you had tons of fun on your various vacations. I actually floated the idea around in my head to not have a meeting in July, but Bobbi voted a big thumbs down since she enjoys seeing the daylilies in bloom then. I think at the very least the July meeting should be very light on content, since so many people have conflicting plans then. More of a fun day. PIE. Yeah--sounds about right.
Okay--so we hung out and looked at the flowers--our hoped for speaker from ND had a health issue and had to cancel. But the flowers were pretty and the garden was nice,so we managed to entertain ourselves that way. On to the meeting--no real reports--we didn't have a Treasurer or Secretary in attendance, Cindy didn't have anything to report on the travel front.
Rosie didn't have any updates for the Program book--and the planning committee for the state convention is sort of on summer vacation, so there aren't any updates there either. The one thing we did decide is that we are going to make a field trip in Sept. to the Quiet Corner for lunch and then to Defries Garden for a tour. Bobbi and Dave went there and really enjoyed it, so we all need to head over there and see it for ourselves. We will get serious about this later. This trip will happen on a week day or possibly a Saturday depending on the Quiet Corner's schedule. More on the whole thing later.
Other than that, we didn't do much other than hang out and visit. If I have missed something, please remind me so I can include it. Sorry to be so vague--just not quite myself at the moment.
And sympathy to Bobbi on the loss of her beloved horse, Lady, who was such a friend to her family for many, many years. She is now at rest on their property with a stand of Ladybells to keep watch over her. And our dear Soda Booboo is resting in the center of the circle bed, surrounded by daylilies in full flower. The bright yellow spider form flower that I have named for her will be moved to that area in the fall, where it will mark the spot.
That's all for now folks--hopefully next month will be longer. We will be meeting at Cindy's--please plan to attend so you can hear the wonderful story of the incredible Burr Oak tree, meet all the four legged family, and admire the beautiful gardens.
