Now it's really summer, in the 90s and humid. Le Tour has finished, what excuses will I find not to get things done now? In the garden tomatoes are being harvested, squash and cucumbers too.
Looks like my summer tradition of reading Travels with my Aunt by Graham Greene may be broken this year. The tradition seems to have started in 2004, though the Summer Read looks like a more recent trend. My favorite Summer Read of it was on the River boat on the Peruvian Amazon above Iquitos in 2015. Just like the main character Henry, though he was going up a river to Paraguay and there were no 2nd or 3rd class passengers on our spartan ship.
Just too many books to read for the first time. A whole slew of Inspector Maigret to catch up on and piles of books surrounding the bed and getting higher every week.
Current Blooms:
A Dwarf Heather, Glenmorangie, Calluna vulgaris, few pale lavender flowers, foliage turns orange in fall.
A heath, but I don't know the name, from a big box store. There is also another similar, but with lavender and white flowers with the same upright form as this.
Echinacea
Phlox, I try to remember to cut them back earlier in the season so they don't get too tall.
Dwarf Coreopsis
Beers in the Fridge:
Nothing new this month. Still have Sam Adams Porch Swing left over from Father's Day get together, that's how much I like them.
Also have Sixpoint Sweet Action, Sixpoint C.R.E.A.M., Boddingtons pub ale, Long Trail Mostly Cloudy and Brooklyn 1/2 Ale.
