6-29-17 VERMONT: It continues to rain every day. There was another 0.7 inches in the gauge this morning with more rain most of the afternoon. It’s also chilly and overcast today. I have done a few chores during the dry spells, but the ground is soaked and the trees are dripping.

We had dinner in Hanover last night with Denny and Laura-Beth and Dave and Shari.

New blooms: foxglove.


Rose-breasted grosbeak is a frequent summer visitor, but I haven't seen one before today this year.

Lychnis also called rose campion is a reliable perennial about two feet tall with red or white flowers.

Typical weather this week with blue sky here and a storm over there.

Barn Swallow chicks in the barn, of course.

I like the single peonies better than the doubles, the wasp seems to agree.
