7-5-08 VERMONT: The last two days have been beautiful, before that we had another 0.35 inches of rain. We had a dinner party on 7-3. Judy was up to her usual, lofty standards. Much praise was heaped up and piled on her by Phyllis, Arnie, Ken, Jane, Bruce, Donna, Ina, Herb, Gene, Judy K., and Tony. The rest of the holiday weekend was quiet, with just us trying to keep the dogs amused. Perhaps it should be the other way around. Camp visit with Lily and Maggie tomorrow, pizza, candy, chips and soda will be consumed.
The Glenn elm seems to be dying in spite of looking OK a week ago. I soaked it in hopes that it was just dry even though there has been plenty of rain. The smaller elm is bursting with new growth.
The veggies are on schedule. There were two ripe cherry tomatoes today. One was eaten by each of those individuals currently in residence. A blueberry was also ripe and also devoured.
The orioles are around. I have seen one or the other a few times. I moved the hummer feeder further away from the house, and they seen to prefer the new location.
New blooms: astilbe, purple rain salvia, rhododendron. Dianthus and fever few have been out for a week or so, but I forgot to mention either before.
