5-3-23 VERMONT: A low pressure system is sitting on top of New England and raining on and off, mostly on, all week. Yesterday I got out during a dry afternoon and pruned the honeysuckle by the steps and started on the lilacs in front of the old house. There’s a cart load to be dumped and several branches on the grass to be hauled away.
Today the heat pump installation was finished, and Hillary was here for a walk around in the rain.
We had a visit from a pair of mallards yesterday and a pair of black ducks today. They all leave as soon as they spot the dogs. There was an American tree sparrow at the feeders yesterday—a first for me.
We had dinner at Katie and Andy’s house yesterday. Tomorrow Judy and I drive to Bangor, ME to pick up another English Cream Retriever from the same breeder from whom we got Blanca. She is also a retired breeding dog who has had a least two litters. Judy wants another therapy dog. She will be named ‘Blue’—Judy’s choice.
New blooms: alkanet, trout lily.
