July 4 (What a Day!)

I fell asleep for about an hour earlier this afternoon. It was like a dream, a little warm, slight breeze, green and blue.

Mowed the lawn; Ron helped a little.  He’s watering trees now.  I set up the new soaker that arrived yesterday from Amazon.  Ordered two more 25-footers when the damnable flat hose exploded in the newest vegetable garden.

Dressed the five asparagus plants that have popped up with Ron’s compost.  One of the milkweed has flower buds!

Dave slept on the couch and left around 11-ish.  He took a lot of nice photos to show the Berkeley crowd.  He was very complimentary about the house and the yard.  What a guest: brought his own towel and pillow and gave us a bag of fabulous Saratoga chips!

Got Ron’s loaner phone activated with the help of a great tech support person at Credo.  Very easy process: she knew her stuff and gave excellent directions.

Leftovers for supper and some quiet time to read and listen to music while sitting on the deck.
