6-1-11 SHORT HILLS: I had an easy trip down today, Judy came down yesterday. It has been in the ninties here, another sudden summer, and things look dry. A week ago, when I left here, things were soggy, and even though there’s 1.1 inches of rain in the gauge, things are now parched. After I got unloaded, I watered and turned on the sprinkler system. Water requirements are so much higher when it’s hot. The hot spell has brought lots of stuff from unbloomed to open.
New blooms: before I left Vermont,
centaurea, bachelor button and many other common names, had opened. In NJ—hydrangea, mock orange, english holly, spirea-pink and white, more viburnum, privet, siberian iris, more roses, white lamium, peony and tree peony.
Tree Peony. Now that's a flower.
