Welcome August

Wil sent this from the sailing races!

See-Ya, July

Today...

Leadership at its best.

It's kind of strange to live in Vermont right now, 

and be the only "green" state on the map. 

I should feel relieved and glad for it, 

but can't help a feeling of impending doom. 

Mizzen the Brave

The Perennial Delphinium is prolific!

I've actually never seen this plant before this year.  

Apparently I've always only seen the "annual" variety with the long, tall flower frond.

I love this version!

Back when less was more...

Birthday

Wow, today our granddaughter in Maine turns 11...and will receive her Hogwart's Letter, 
thanks to Gramie's best friend (who does them so convincingly).  

Here is the birthday girl holding her baby cousin who turns 1 next month.
