Cold Wave.

6-28-25 VERMONT: The heat is gone, replaced by cool, low seventies today and possibly rain later. We’ve eaten at Casa Brava Tapas in the South Street Hotel and at Red Can and had pizza from C & S in WRJ—all good. Tonight  we go to Cloudland Farms with cousin John.

I done more pruning at my slow, slow pace and have the piles to prove it. Next week we get basement clean outs. 

I braved the mosquitos and sat outside for bird pix and caught some blue birds. 

Judy’s new right-side mirror has finally been replaced after many months of waiting for parts from Subaru, thanks to grandson Eoin sending us to a parts-site that actually had parts.  

Next week we get guests for the Fourth Holiday, how many remains a mystery.

New blooms: valerian, fever few, Russian sage. 

Another peony, I like these single flowers better than the usual doubles. and I love this color.

The roses that I planted by the pasture fence years ago are taller every season.

Bluebirds, parent on the right and immature on the left. The immature bird has a blue tail.
