August Strikes

8-1-06 VERMONT: It is hot here too, in the 90’s with high humidity. We had 0.25” rain this AM, combined with the other precip this week, is enough to leave the swamp squishy again. The pond is almost never completely full in August but is this year. The pond pH is 6.8—slightly acidic, but the same as last year at this time even though I never got to lime the yard in the drainage area because of all the rain.

I picked about a quart of blueberries and worked up a sweat like I had run a couple miles. Either the weather is atrocious or I am totally deconditioned.

New blooms: first aster, black-eyed susan.
