7-11-17 VERMONT: More rain last night and this morning has left us soggy once again. There was only 0.1 inch this time. The culvert is staying clear so far after these small rains.
Summer is flying by, as usual, as mid-July approaches. I have done some weeding and staking floppy stalks, but the garden is mostly on cruise control, as I modify a rustic table that Judy fell in love with at the recent auction. One more day and it will be ready for prime time duty.
New blooms: delphinium, hydrangea, summer azalea.
Belted kingfisher giving me the stare from a pond-side hemlock.
The female has a rusty-colored chest band.
Northern pearly-eye is inspecting our fiber-optic cable connection.
Hybrid daylily.
Water lily, pink variety.
Butterfly weed, Asclepias incarnata, has attracted lots of plain old ants instead of brilliant butterflies.
