5-27-13 VERMONT: Judy and the dogs left this morning for NJ. Ria was here and started priming the trim on the deck side of the house. Today was sunny, finally, in the sixties with almost no clouds, but plenty of northerly wind that keeps the flies away. I did more weeding and pruned perennials damaged by the snow, put up supports for peonies, meadow rue, baptisia and delphinium, gathered the bed fences for the beds not around the house [because of the painting]. After dinner, I took out the storm doors and put in the screens.
Today was clear so Mt. Moosilauke and Mt. Lafayette were visible and had snow cover on top. The snow may have damaged the basil, some leaves are turning brown.
The four turtles, non-ninja, were sunning again as a group.
New blooms: baneberry, clatonia [didn’t notice before, but was probably out].
Gray Catbird pair checking out the apple tree.
Mt. Moosilauke with snow on the peak. There's also a cloud behind the peak.
