7-22-11 VERMONT: Yesterday was up to 94° and today hit 95°, that is as hot as I remember it getting in twenty summers here. Tonight is cooler and the humidity has dropped making it so much more comfortable. Usually in VT, the nights are cool, if not very cool, and sleeping is fine, occasionally with a window fan to clear the room of the midday heat. Last night it didn’t get below about 80° and was not so nice.
We all, Judy, Val, Steve and I, have been hiding in the shade for two days. I did do a bit of veggie garden work yesterday and was drenched in moments.
Camp visiting tomorrow for Lucy, and later, Alison and Dan arrive for college parents weekend.
New blooms: helenium, joe-pye weed.
Helenium, aka Sneezeweed, for its appearance with late summer allergens.
Another true lily.
