Hazy, Hot and Humid

7-17-06 VERMONT: Happy Birthday, Judy! We had a birthday dinner Friday at Canoe Club in Hanover with Val and Lucy who had just arrived. Lucy started camp this morning. Summer H^3 weather has blanketed the region with smothering, damp thick gray air. The heat melts initiative. Chores are deferred. The flowers and plants love it. So do the bugs.

We did take a short hike in Lord Brook yesterday. It was cool in the water and very pretty with dozens of little waterfalls. There is moss everywhere from all the rain. We are living in a rain forest, at least for the moment.

Speaking of rain, we had a short downpour Friday night, but by the time I checked the gauge the next day it was dry.

New blooms: yellow day lilies, multicolor day lilies, another asiatic lily, another hollyhock.
