Soggy Jersey.

8-23-14 SHORT HILLS: I’m back in NJ, and Dan is much improved and about to be discharged from the hospital in Denver. He and Alison will return to NY by Amtrak via Chicago. Arnie also left yesterday.

It’s been a wet summer here, and everything looks well watered and thriving. I picked up a bunch is sizable branches and pumped the water off the pool cover and did a few minor chores. There will be much pruning and weeding here this fall.

In bloom: rose-of-Sharon, roses, hydrangea, caryopsis, butterfly bush, spirea, white star clematis, monarda.


Rose-of-Sharon comes in different flavors. Here are strawberry....

and cherry-vanilla.
