Chaos Reigns.

6-20-25 VERMONT: As they say, if it’s not one thing, it's another. First the dishwasher didn’t work, and after trying the circuit breakers and checking the electrical connection to the machine, we concluded the appliance was broken. We arranged for a new unit, and for it to be installed Tuesday. 


Next there was no hot water, I the checked the pilot, out, and re-lit it, and it worked, but the plumber said have the gas company should check the thermocouple. They said the unit was installed in 1996, and now everything is wrong, so it needs a replacement, to be scheduled.  


The parts for Judy’s car are on the way, we are informed—we’ll see.


Today was very windy, but with Scott’s help we got the doors changed to screens and the benches deployed in the yard. Yesterday we got 0.1 inch of rain and the day before 0.75 inches.


Yesterday it was incredibly hot, and we ran the heat pump AC and needed a window fan at night. The previous days it was cold and and we had a fire. That’s the chaos we expect.


New blooms: Jacobs ladder, Solomons seal, false Solomons seal, chive, Diablo, peony, bishops weed, celandine.

Peonies, with the roses, are the stars of June.
Irises--blue,yellow, white.
The thyme is right for flowers.
