Visiting Day.

7-20-13 VERMONT: Today is down in the mid-eighties after more of the nineties. Each of the last two days ended with a T-storm, and last night with a power outage for eight hours.

Eoin and Joe spent most of the hot days in the pond along with our neighbor’s kids, Gavin and Caitlyn. Water guns that are popular now look like WMD’s and ought to require a background check before permission to buy. They got a lot of use, as did the boat and a bunch of floaties.

Today was camp visitation for Val and Steve. We brought pizzas, root beer and Judy’s brownies for picnic lunch with them and Lucy.

The blueberries are ripening, and I picked two quarts yesterday. The corn has tassels and beginning ears. The tomatoes all have green fruit.

New blooms: echinacea, Joe Pye weed, clematis, ligularia, goose-neck loosestrife.


Kids know what to do when it's in the nineties.

Hybrid daylily.
