Dining Out.

7-7-12 VERMONT: No rain yesterday and only a brief shower today, so far. I weeded the beds along the road yeterday and today and hauled an overflowing load to the compost pile.

I was near Browns Nursery this morning and picked up another phlox for the bed I’ve been filling or refilling, Phlox paniculata ‘Blue Paradise’.

Yesterday we took rootbeer, pizza and brownies to visit grandaughter Lucy, camping at Aloha. Today granddaughter Lily is visiting on her day off from counseloring at Hive. Yesterday evening we had dinner at Ariana’s Restaurant in Orford, NH with Ken and Jane. Tonight we dine at Canoe Club in Hanover with Lily. It’s a maddening social whirl.

New blooms: delphinium, pickerel weed.

Monarda, bee balm, very Seussian flower.
A pair of hairy woodpeckers. They are almost identical to downy woodpeckers, but have bigger bodies and larger beaks. The male is wearing the red yarmulke.
