Crossing the Space/Time Continum
5-30 06 VERMONT: This will be a first, an entry from both VT and NJ on the same day. Oh, the miracles of modern transportation. We left VT after I watered all the new plantings and did a quick circuit.
New blooms: more cranesbill-purple ones, celandine, sweet woodruff and may apple.
SHORT HILLS: We raced into the future from spring in VT, 57°, summer in NJ, 94°. The grass looks a bit better, and things have dried out. I restarted the sprinklers and watered the new planting in front of the house.
New blooms: tulip tree, buckthorn, mock orange, laurel, English holly, solomon seal, wild rose, peony and tree peony.
Pix: pretties going up.

Memorial Day
5-39-06 VERMONT: We spent the morning at the Wm Smith Auction and bought a slant top desk for our bedroom. In the afternoon I did more pruning of roses, spireas and the apple tree, removing dead wood. Tomorrow we go back to NJ. I’ll water all the new plantings before we leave. Pix will be posted back at the cable modem.
New blooms: another viburnum and another azalea.
