1. I am profoundly aggrieved

This week is in the 90's and humid. Three weeks ago it frosted (June 2). How is a flower gardener supposed to cope with that? I don't have the equipment or time to drape stuff against frost. Forget even trying vegetables...

The corn loves this crazy weather. It grew a foot in a week.

And the peaches have thrived. Of course, they are in the most sheltered spot I could contrive. Sometimes, you just have to trust in Nature and be grateful for what does endure.

The Kid gets braces (or just half, on the bottom) this afternoon. After which, I plan to get stinking drunk (or as far as I'm able, with no capacity). Anticipational stress.
