More Rain.

8-25-10 VERMONT: Yesterday was sunny and pleasant, and I got a bit more of the wood split. We had dinner in Lebanon [NH] with Dave and Gail. There was 1.25 inches of rain in the gauge yesterday morning from the preceding 36 hours of rain. Today, more rain, but no significant accumulation. Everything outside is sopping from drizzle, even the pond seems wetter than usual. Dinner tonight with the Reeses in Hanover.

New blooms: bottle gentian.


Bottle Gentian. Early Americans used this plant as a source of purple dye.
