More Rain.

7-3-23 VERMONT: We continue to get wet—another 1.1 inches yesterday. It was cold, 60’s, too. We had an afternoon fire. I remember the Fourth as hot, hot, hot. This weekend is more like a Memorial Day weekend.

Lily’s law school friends are here again, a total of seven kids, all very pleasant, all helping out around the house with meals, dishes and all.

I have to pull the boat up on the bank every day to empty the rain water. No rain so far today, but the radar shows green blobs headed this way. 

New blooms: daylily, daisy, mullein, ox eye, campanula, money plant, mallow, hosta.   

Daylily, always starts on July 1, ends August 1, or so.

I feel like I'm being watched by the peonies. The rest of the others, the doubles, have been wiped out by the latest rain and will need pruning.

Judy's latest find provides a home for the herbs on the deck.

After a load of rain a few days ago, the morning was foggy.

Mallow, seems early, but the summer is almost half over.

The upper pond bank is almost all ferns on the woody side, plus FMN.
