Today Camera Girl entrusted me with a job she calculated I was capable of performing; renewing the licenses for the dogs.\u00a0 And yet I failed.\u00a0 Turns out the town hall is closed on account of Juneteenth.\u00a0 Well.\u00a0 Juneteenth can really sneak up on you.\u00a0 All my preparation, anticipation and concentration undone.\u00a0 Ah well.\u00a0 There\u2019s always next year.<\/p>\n

Another beautiful day.\u00a0 Blazing hot sun and hardly a breath of breeze.\u00a0 Well, we wait all winter for this so why complain about what we said we wanted?\u00a0 So, soak in the heat and feel the energy.\u00a0 But all this heat has already got my gardens way ahead of last year\u2019s awful summer of rain marathon.\u00a0 Based on what I can see I\u2019ll have raspberries this week and blueberries next week.\u00a0 And that\u2019s just in time for Princess Sack of Potatoes beginning of summer visit.\u00a0 She\u2019ll be here tomorrow and Friday and she loves raspberries.<\/p>\n

The early summer flowers are all over the place.\u00a0 Black-eyed Susans, cone flowers, Shasta daisies, daylilies, clematis, digitalis, roses and Serbian bellflower are blooming all over the place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The hellebores, rhododendrons, peonies and irises are already finished and the lupines are down to their last gasp.\u00a0 Last year everything was late and stunted.\u00a0 And the Elecampane I put in two years ago is already about six feet tall even before it\u2019s flowered.<\/p>\n

Of course, all this fertility hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed by my neighbors.\u00a0 The rabbits and the deer have been enjoying the raspberry and blueberry bushes and also nibbling down some of the outlying hostas and Solomon seal plants but as Camera Girl reminds me everybody\u2019s gotta eat.\u00a0 Yeah, but why here?<\/p>\n

But not everything is sweetness and light.\u00a0 Massive repair work is in my future.\u00a0 Contractor negotiation and management is upon me.\u00a0 Oh, the pain, the pain.\u00a0 Well, the money pit is well named.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t noticed too much about the election in November that\u2019s worth discussing this week.\u00a0 Biden is falling apart and various groups of people are beginning to notice and the Democrat upper echelons seem to be circling like sharks waiting to put him out of his misery.\u00a0 But there\u2019s not that much for us to say until they pull the plug or the ripcord or whatever the correct metaphor is for this termination.<\/p>\n

But whoever and however the Democrats run their race it is the ballot harvesting and drop box stuffing that will probably determine the winner in Pennsylvania.\u00a0 My hope though is that there will be enough video and other documentation of the fraud to convince the great majority of Americans of the truth about our \u201celection integrity.\u201d\u00a0 If that is accomplished then a real threshold will have been crossed.\u00a0 Hopefully enough people will stop trying to force reality to correspond with their idealistic conception of how our leaders are \u201celected\u201d and move onto concentrating their energies on protecting themselves and their families from the regime and its destructive practices.<\/p>\n

A friend in town has donated a large collection of books on Shakespear to me.\u00a0 So of course I\u2019m a kid in the candy store.\u00a0 One of the best types of books in the collection are paperback copes of individual plays.\u00a0 This tends to be much handier than my large heavy \u201ccomplete works\u201d volumes which are large and heavy and tend to have small print!\u00a0 I especially want the tragedies and some of the better comedies in that form.\u00a0 Let\u2019s start with Hamlet, King Lear and Much Ado About Nothing.\u00a0 That should keep me busy for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
