Back in Thetford.

8-6-11 VERMONT: We’re back. Yesterday’s trip was uneventful, long, with a stop at Bob’s, but uneventful. The dogs were glad to be home from the kennel, as usual. Things here are dry. I watered a few yesterday and filled the feeders. Judy picked tomatoes—the tomato torrent has begun.

The heron, ho hum, was back today. It’s hot, overcast and threatening to rain more than the brief shower we had this afternoon. If we don’t get rain today, I’ll make it rain tomorrow by watering everything.

Lily and three counselor friends are visiting on their day off from Hive. Maggie has returned from Thailand exuberant about the trip.

New blooms: indian pipe, lobelia.

Here's another from MDI.
