staging

 

Barbara brought me beautiful peonies. Katie brought me beautiful roses. All this in the couple days before I hit the road! Katie convinced me to take them along on the road trip. (Along with the guavas, cherries, raspberries etc that she left in the fridge. Pretty sure the fridge will go on the fritz this summer. It sounds awful and is almost 40 years old. The one in the living room, homage to my third world brothers and sisters, is over 50 and still going strong, though it's a pain to defrost.)

   Anyway, I cut all the flower stems, stuffed them in a plastic peanut container, and they fit in the cooler. Katie wanted me to carry them loose in the back seat. Not happening. We'll see how they do in the bed. Leaving in a couple hours.
