8-16-11 VERMONT: Since my last entry, it has done nothing but rain, for almost 48 hours. This storm was the one that dumped up to 10 or 11 inches on the NYC area. We only got 2.65 inches, but that was enough to fill the pond which was down about 2 inches and soak everything. We will be sufficiently soggy for up to two weeks. When the rain stopped this afternoon, it went from cold and dank to sunny, hot and muggy in a twinkling.
The landscapers were here again doing more pasture trimming and inadvertently cut the invisible dog fence wire. It was easy to find and repair, and I found two more broken split rail fence rails to replace. It was good to escape the house after the rain. We had a pretty sky at sunset.
August gardens: black-eyed susan, echinacea, helenium, daisy, yarrow and white star clematis hanging from the deck.
Red cloud.
