iris roses planter and cat
sun 06-02 Terry was here yesterday and today visiting and working on the garden. Weeding, mulching, judicious pruning, planting of herbs and a red geranium by the mailbox like three other houses on the street. The bittersweet that had taken over the garden in back is gone. There is much empty space and a reclaimed planter that now has impatiens.

clematis fern There is a large purple flower in the middle of all the little yellow ones under the cedar tree, and the fern I trampled getting out the bittersweet is recovering. Terry says the purple plant is clematis among the celandine poppies.

tue 06-25 Sunny today, maybe a bit cooler, not much wind. Saw a heron flying away when I went down to the dock and could see the ring of ripples near the shore where it had been. Paddled across the lake to Rocky Cove. Dragonflies hovering and darting, tree swallows swooping low over the water, redwing blackbirds moving from rush to rush, another heron flying by overhead, two seagulls on the buoy, a blackbacked gull eyeing me from the rock, a few fish disappearing. No turtles today.
