Los Gatos Guerillas Get Here.

7-15-13 VERMONT: The Californians have invaded for their usual summer visit. Siobhan brought Eoin and Joe via Burlington, stayed for a couple days that included an auction preview at Smith’s. Between Judy and Siobhan, many bids were left.

The rain has stopped, at least for a few days, but it remains quite hot and very humid. The septic system chose now to act up, and I got out the shovels and uncovered the pumping station and the septic tank so they could be pumped out which happened this morning. We are waiting for electrician/plumbers to show up and determine if the pump is just malfunctioning or dead. I re-buried the tank cover, with help from the boys.

The floats and the boat are getting a work out, and the frogs and turtles have been netted and terrorized.

New blooms: lots of hybrid daylilies.


Hybrid Daylily shows patterns of threes in outer petals and inner petals, the mark of the monocotyledon.

Frog and turtle enjoying the water lily flower.

Turtle has been too distracted by the flowers to avoid getting snatched. He is safely back in the pond, hopefully a little wiser.

Another hybrid daylily, this one in red.
