Rain Again.

8-9-13 VERMONT: The rain came back last night and continued most of the day today, leaving an inch of precip and a soggy yard. Last night there were a lot of flashes and rumbles. Nick was unhappy. It has also gotten warm and humid again.

Yesterday I was working on the rotted wood under the old house front door. There’s always more inside than there seems to be on the surface.

Judy and I are both getting PT for our right ankles with simultaneous appointments.

New blooms: white phlox, blue lobelia.


The new echinacea admiring their reflections in the pond. Hopefully, they will be happy there.

Red lobelia is also called cardinal flower. Does the flower look like a red bird in flight? It comes in blue and also white. The blue ones are just starting, but white ones still in hiding.
