More Chores.

5-20-08 VERMONT: It’s nice to get queries. It tells you that someone is actually alive out there. Sam and Chloe, however, have indicated that their brand preferences for coffee and beer are private matters. Neither of them wants to be hounded for public endorsements or dogged by curious voyeurs.

Another pretty nice day, warm, but not hot, sunny and intermittently breezy. Unfortunately, the black flies appeared when the wind was calm. I finished fertilizing the flower beds, dragged out all the hoses and watered everything, weeded and pruned, put up some of the plant supports and planted sunflower seeds.

Tomorrow I start on the veggie garden.

The frog opera has been playing nightly, at dawn the birds take over.

New blooms: purple lamium.
