Rain

6-5-06 SHORT HILLS: Several rainy days have delivered almost 3” here and about 1” in Thetford where we are off to tomorrow. The ground is soggy, but the vegetation loves it. Mushrooms are popping up all over the yard. Between showers I have continued to prune and trim, but most of the work is done here for the moment. The rhododendrons look better this year than they have for a few seasons. They do not tolerate drought. A nice wet summer would be great.

New blooms: honey suckle vine, first of the asian hollies.
