Film Festival

7-10-12 VERMONT: We had a two day film festival, beginning on Monday with ‘To Rome with Love’ and ending on Tuesday with ‘Savages’. Let me say first that they’re rather different. We enjoyed both but loved the Woody Allen, especially having recently been in Rome.

Lily is here again, on another day off with her friend Ana from Texas—a long way to come for a counseloring gig—it must really pay well. Not.

I weeded the terrace beds and am done weeding for a few minutes. Now comes all the pruning of dead wood and excessive growth from the trees in the yard. I will also take down some unwanted woody growth in the pasture. I bought a chipper to dispose of the prunings.

Today Judy and I went to Perkinsville on an errand and then to Chester to see the stone houses. There are about a dozen, mostly on a stretch of Rte 103, dating from the early 1800’s and nicely kept up.

Hybrid daylily.
