Big Rain.

6-26-14 VERMONT: Yesterday the rain started in mid afternoon while I was working on the roses. It got heavier and heavier as it grew dark and continued all night. There was a short power outage. This afternoon the rain gauge had 2.75 inches and the boat was full of rainwater.

We braved the worst of the storm to meet Lily for dinner at Murphy’s and had a tour of her rooms after we ate—her place looks very much like college housing.

Today was overcast until evening, but the skies are now clear. I did a little pruning this afternoon.

New blooms: red spirea.


Hot couple....

You're supposed to boat on the water, not in it.
