7-13-06 VERMONT: Sunday night we had dinner at the Katz’s with the Kerr’s and Nelson’s. Phyllis made a green gazpacho that was unique. Monday I did more work on the lilac hedge and generated another two cartloads of prunings for the next burn pile. Tuesday we visited Maggie and Lily at Hive bearing pizza, candy and diet sprite. We had another tour of the camp after lunch. Both girls are having a good time. That night it rained 0.15 inches just as I had been thinking of starting to water. Yesterday I decided to use the DR string trimmer on the section of the yard that remained unmowed, the swamp, as it was beginning to dry out. It went fairly well. My feet only got a little wet. The rest of the yard was mowed the same afternoon. It began to rain as the mowing finished and teemed all night. Tragically the new delphiniums were broken by the storm. I salvaged them for the living room. We got 1.9 inches to maintain the 2 inches of rain a week average for the summer so far. Today I tried to recreate Phyllis’ soup with partial success and did more hedge thinning, one more loads worth.
New blooms: asiatic lily, another recumbent sedum in red, another filipencula, wild spirea.
