The Further Adventures of Emmett.

8-14-26 VERMONT: It’s cooler in the seventies, and tonight might get down to the 40’s. We were in a series of cookie-cutter days, all beautiful. We have had the plumber here to fix a leak in the washing machine faucet and to estimate the cost of changing the water line to the barn. Screen doors replacement estimator was also here.  

I planted a clematis [C. Rebecca Evipo016] under the deck by the lattice. The clematis that had been happy there for many years didn’t survive the installation of the heat pumps. Also I planted a cardinal flower [Lobelia cardinalis] on the edge of the pond by the hollyhock and echinacea. 


New blooms: ligularia dentata, sedum.
